Alignment question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Went and got the alignment done after fitting the rack 

last week, its the first time I actually stayed while it 

was done, so I saw all the alignment figures.

It was one of those laser jobs you find at ATS etc.

Anyway the nearside front had to be set at +4 and the 

offside to -2 to get a total of  -2. 

Now, this  looks like a offset trust angle, or do i have 

this wrong?

If the trust angle was zero it would be set -1 / -1  

correct?

	I thought that thrust angle was specific to the rear? Are you saying that they diddled the front a bit to compensate for the rear end of your car being out of square? You don't say whether the numbers are degrees or minutes..
