I’m off to get my tracking checked and fixed shortly. Does anyone have a copy of the chart that I can check with all the info of that the tracking should be on my car?
Rover 75 MK2 1.8 Turbo.

Thanks.

Hi Ravinder, is this what you mean?

That’s great. Thanks. Will the garage have the same record on their machine?

Rear toe is out on drivers side so he’s going to try and correct this but he said he can’t adjust the camber as it’s none adjustable ?

So this is what they’ve done. Look OK?
They said they can’t adjust the rear camber so adjusted the toe as it was out.
Front has also been done. I made sure to fill the tank up before I went there.

Yes Ravinder; if it's green it's good!

The OSR camber suggests that there's a worn suspension component which needs attention.

Thank you. Any idea which component would need addressing?

I'd look at the upper and lower arm bushes on both sides (your NSR camber is close to the maximum value of 1˚ 15') or utilise the expertise of your MOT tester. :D

Tracking depots usually check all the relevant joints before doing the measurements and warn the customer of any wear/slop. As said, only the front and rear wheel toe can be adjusted, but other parameters may also be out of spec before tracking and in spec afterwards. It's the luck of the draw. Another factor that has an effect is fatigue as distinct from wear. Rubber bushes can age enough to affect load settlement of the suspension, even though there's no detectable 'slop' in the joints. The resulting camber changes are in arcminutes (1/60 of a degree) so microscopic. If you'd not filled the tank, it may well have been in spec. This isn't something the average guy can assess. You simply renew the bushes when it gets far enough out to cause abnormal tyre wear.
