[robster247]

As above how do I know ? Ive just fitted some 15inch alloys to my saxo and put toyo proxes on its only on a 1.1 but how do I know if my tracking needs setting again ?

Best way is to take it and get it checked

[robster247]

Right how do they check it and for how much ?

15-25 for tracking just get it done cheap anyways mate :)

If ur on a straight road does is ur steering wheel at an angle? If it is then it's likely it needs doing! I'd get it done anyway coz if its out ul wear ur tyres out quicker! :)

My garage does a check for free, then if they need doing the alignment/tracking is £20 and balancing is £8 per wheel.. But usully theyre fine :y:

If it pulls to one side, that's probably the tracking out. (I say probably, since it's not always the case, sometimes something's bent).

if it pulls to one side then its out.
but also you could just run it for a couple months and check if the inside of the tyre is wearing faster than the rest.
or if theres un-even wear then its out.

Get it checked but if u drive straight and pulls it could be tracking but also could be something else

[huricane]

i wouldnt rely on it just pulling to one side as that what i thought but is was just tyre pressure was low but it cheap enough to just get it check as "yourdreamgirl" said my garage check it for free and if it need adjusting then he will charge £30 for alignment and balancing

tracking rarely pulls to one side.

If you have excess toe out \ /
or toe in / \

The amount of toe is the same per side - if you choose to drive in a straight line.


Toe in is stable ride - a shopping car - wears outer edge
Toe Out is twitchy and gets around understeer well - but wears inner edge
