beast5680:
i measured the total length of my track rod when i replaced one of my ends and wound the new one into the same measurement with out any probs

Lostboy:
I fitted Sumo bars to mine recently complete with new ball joints on the ends. I set the new bits up to be the exact same length as the old ones (which I'm guessing from the lack of tyre wear were correct) - car drove fine, but when I took it to get the toe-in measured it was 17 degrees out!! Given a lot of places will check this for free and only make a small charge if they do have to adjust it - I think a tenner is much better than two new tyres!

hobbit:
The tracking check is a swine if its out, on road tyres the feathering on the tyres can be picked up fairly quickly with regular checks, but on muds it can be a lot harder to spot it

Not all the free checking places will play with 16" type wheels, they class them like vans, and refuse to do them, but it dont do any harm to ask :wink:

Jake:
Not a problem
The local place to me fitted the tyres and tracked it before.
I'll be seeing them on sat afternoon i guess
 :wink:

Wanderer:
If you've lifted it Jake you might want to go the whole hog and get the castor angle checked at the same time if they've got the kit to do it.
