more on alignment 850

posted by  someone claiming to be ksg on  Thu Apr 28 12:54 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Thanks for your replies -

I wondered about the camber because I had uneven tire wear (the inside edge of the tire wore much quicker) on the right side and the car also pulled to the right. This definitely disappeared after a shop aligned the wheels and rotated the tires, so presumably they adjusted something. I understood uneven wear to one edge of a tire would indicate the camber was off on that side. Is this incorrect?

As far as I understand there is also no adjustment for the caster. That leaves only the toe-in. Maybe in my case the pull and wear to one edge of one tire was due to incorrect toe-in?

If true that the toe-in is the only adjustment on the 850s - is aligning an 850 like the case of the bald man who pays $30 for a haircut?
