alignment ... Yo Made in Japan 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Yellow 850 on  Sat Sep 23 17:46 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Made in Japan, I believe you are an expert in wheel area..

I just replace my tie-rod and ball joint, so I aligned the wheels afterwards. The shop gave me the alignment result, and to me it's just like blood test result where you can read the status and the standards and I don't have a clue what they means...

First of all, the software was ML3000 PC. The mechanic had to pic model and make from a list, so I told him to pick 800 series but whithin the 800 series there was no 850, so I told him to choose s/v 70. I assumed that s/v70 has the same mechanical structure as 850.

There are some figures that is off the standard range but the mechanic can do nothing about it, such as camber. The left wheel is 01'32" where the standards is -1' +- 30"... what does this mean?

The castor is 2'47" left and 3'52" right... which is still wihtin the range. but my question is.. is it normal that left and right wheels shows different figures?

The Toe is also off the standard. its -0'11" for left and -0'18" right...while the standard is +0'02" +- 05"...

Are those figures safe?? and what need to be done since the mechanic can do nothing to fix them...?

Thanks.
