Dear All, Thanks very much indeed to Randall, Jim, Kevin and Alex, all of whom have added immeasurably to my understanding of wheel alignment. Randall, yes, we pay 17.5% VAT on most goods and service

Got it. As far as I know, the wheel alignment centre I used measures the camber without a driver in the driver's seat - and presumably makes adjustments with this in mind. Splendid - that explains th

I did, and I am sure they will. If rubber was OK for the OEM, it's OK with me. :-) That gives me a nice warm feeling. Thanks. ATB -- Mike Ellie - 1963 White Herald 1200 Convertible GA125624 CV Connie

Hurrah! I no longer regret emptying all the junk out of the boot for this alignment check. Me? Drive a BMW? Wash your mouth out with lye soap! ATB -- Mike Ellie - 1963 White Herald 1200 Convertible G

Mike, before you celebrate too much, I suggest reading the factory manual. I don't have it handy, but ISTR it specifies that the car should be 'laden' when doing the alignment. Randall /// triumphs@

One step forward, two steps back... I don't have a factory manual for my Spitfire. Could someone who does have one to hand please check for me? ATB -- Mike Ellie - 1963 White Herald 1200 Convertible

I have only the factory manual for early Spits, it contains the notation (static laden) behind the caster and camber specs. However, this is not mentioned in the procedures for checking and setting

Oh, dear. I can't see anyone using the term "laden" to mean "without removing the engine block." <g> Fingers crossed that they changed the specs by the time my car was built... ATB -- Mike Ellie - 19

Indeed it does, Kevin. Very many thanks. I am surprised to note that most of the results which were achieved on my (unladen) Spit are closer to the specs you provide than to the specs in the computer
