Hi got another one for you all if anyone can help me

Ive just replaced tie rod bushes and bottom arm bushes with new poly bushes ow and 2 new track rod ends.
But now looking at it from the front the wheels dont look right one points in and one out so ime assuming one of my new track rod ends were abit longer than the other one throwing it all out of sink correct me if ime wrong.
Ime going to take it down the garage to have the tracking done will this sort it and are there any tracking figures to tell them. ive read the forum and someone mensioned 1.58mm toe out at front and 3.17mm toe in at rear my cars lowered will these figures work for me.
any advice welcome dont really get suspension to be honest.

(Just thinking how do you track the rear anyway)

Your garage should be able to set the tracking... If not come down to northampton for me to do it!

There are a few methods of adjusting the rear tracking - either with the adjustable brackets, shims, or some would say file the hole out where the radius arm pivot pin goes through.

Standard fitment though = no tracking adjustment.

Cheers,
Dave
