Toe fine tuning after changing the wishbones before the trip to Stonelight:
Starting point, 1.25 degrees negative camber, castor set 3 washers on the front and 4 on the back.
Symptoms – car does not auto centre going forwards, but it does backwards. Problem is too much toe in.
1) Mark on the track rod a line so you know where the top is.
2) Unbolt and turn the track rod by 1 turn so it move out from the track rod end – this moves the wheels outwards at the front.
3) Take it for a quick drive forwards and back and see how it feels. Ours felt a bit more neutral going back ward but still no auto centre.
4) Repeat if needed, we did with a 1/2 turn. Now backwards wasn’t auto centring much at all and forwards was doing it a bit, but not quite enough.
5) Repeat if need, we did an extra 1/4 turn. Now the auto centring forwards was very good. Still slightly loose around the middle but 1/4 turn and it runs nicely back into line.
This has a made a huge difference to the handling feel. It feels nimbler into the bends and is easier to steer.
I’ve also moved my seat a notch forwards which is less relaxed but gives me better control.
