The Rubber parachute

I finally got round to getting the alignment on my car checked - should really have had it done when the front corner was being rebuilt after the bearing explosion

verdict - 2.5degress toe-out WTF

kinda explains the tyre eating, zero coast ability, massive turn-in etc I can only imagine the increase in RR this was causing.

so I got them to set it to neutral toe rather than the book 1deg toe-in. Instantly the car now coasts! and feels free-er. even though the change has been done at 170miles into a tank , I've got high hopes for this tank!

want any easy fix? try getting this checked
