rear wheel alignment

Discussion in 'Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres section' started by BryanR26, Apr 10, 2015.

  1. Ok so I got my cat tracked and the guy brought it up say the toe in on the rear of my car is quiet severe the left side was -1.4mm the right was -4.6

    Is this a common thing because I know they can't be adjusted
     
  2. I wouldnt have thought there would be that much difference! Its not a knock on the rear beam has it?
     
  3. can maybe compensate with hub shims
     
  4. He said if it got a knock it would have upset the camber more that the toe
     
  5. The old clio beams were notorious for the tracking!

    Over the years they flex and the angles end up way out, some are worse then others.

    I had my r26 done and for a change it was bang on.

    Regards shims I didn't think this was possible on the megane?
     
  6. It's a funny one alright I seen something about shims
     
  7. Yeah I knew you could shim the clios but I thought the design on the Meg didn't allow you to do that
     
  8. Beams are off from factory

    As above, look at the tyres on your car tomorrow.... I guarantee one will stick out more than the other
     
  10. I was very impressed with mine :wink:

  11. Most are out, some well out! Mine is in the 'well out' category.

    Don't let them 'compensate' for it, it ruins the handling.

  12. Same on mine, always have to coorect direction a little to the right to compensate
     
  13. Can you not buy shims to solve it so?
     
  14. Just picked up a dCi RS 175. MOTd a couple of weeks ago and the track rod ends (both) were advised as having some play in them. So I've ordered a pair and will fit them myself then get it tracked.

    My car slightly pulls to the left unless no camber is present at all. Is this likely to be due to the rear toe?

    I'd hoped it was due to the worn track rods.
     
  15. Nope welded rear unlike the clios
