Onelife Nofear Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I need some advice, I took my J-spec Sup to Graham Goode Racing(not the best idead in the world) in Leicester for four wheel Alignament to the specs I gave them which i got off here. Problem is that now a month on the car is handling like a dog and cannot be driven in the rain safely the back is all over the place. I am pretty sure i can see a visible difference in the Rear Left wheel toe-in in regards to the right.And now my new rear Eagle F1's are slicks after a month!!! I have had someone say that maybe something wasnt tightened up and is causing the toe in, does this sound likely? And would this cause it to handle like a dog and go through my back tyres in a month. Almost positive its something they have done but wanna know what i am talking about when i take it back weds. The thing i am worried about though is they saying that i speced the settings and its the settings that have done it, and hence being my fault! Because i know they aint gonna want to reimburse my rear tyres! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Take it to a reputable place and get it sorted, something is obviously VERY wrong. Think about what to do with the previous place after you know what is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gripweed Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Had this problem myself at the weekend mate! Turned out the spotty youth who'd done the alignment hadn't tightened the camber/toe adjusting bolts. So yes, it's very likely that something is loose.

Chris Wilson Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Rear toe is a million miles out, an probably assymetric. Effect exaggerated by unsuitable wheel and tyre size. Dangerous, fix at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onelife Nofear Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 I took it to Grahm Goode Racing, they said that the rear wheels had come out of alignment and they corrected it they said there were no rear toe in on the wheels, which is a blatant lie because it was so bad you could see it in fact it was so bad my girlfriend could see it!!! They wont pay for the tryes that it has wore down because the wearing is even accross the whole tyre and the alignment wouldnt do this!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
