Turns out when the tyre was changed that the manufacturing sticker of the rim was found under the lip of the tyre, stopping the tyre from sealing properly.

We commonly go around the block in our aligned cars to check this, the alignment can be correct but the steering angle can be thrown out after toe adjustments.

bunna Donating Members 813 Member For: 18y 8m 9d Posted 31/07/10 11:40 PM Share Posted 31/07/10 11:40 PM Toe out? So now it drives like a territory? These cars should have toe in.The evergreen issue with wheel alignment is you're measuring very small angles (our toe spec is 0.2 degrees wide) with sensors that not calibrated regularly (depending on the workshop) and are constantly knocked around and beaten up. Comparing wheel alignment between workshops is probably worse than comparing dyno figures!
