Hi

I have our 92 Open Classic about ready for the MOT after 9 years laid up / ongoing restoration. Both front / rear suspension, steering and drivshafts have been stripped and rebuilt. The rear subframe has also been off, refurbished and refitted.

Prior to taking it for MOT and tracking check i wanted to chec rear wheel alignment. I found an article suggesting passing a loop of string around the càr through all 4 wheel centres and measuring toe in/out on the rear wheels.

Ive done this and both toe in, drivers side is 6mm and passenger side is 2mm. Thoughts on this appreciated.

I understand shims can be fiited to adjust. Is either correct? How critical are the rear? Or do they just need to be the same?

Thanks in advance
Gary
