Tracking Information

Post by stig444 » Tue May 19, 2009 2:09 pm

Following a recent MOT I took the Bongo to have the tracking checked as there was evidence of wear on the front tyres inner edges (standard 15 inch tyres/wheels). The local garage said they couldn't do it as their computer would not have the relevant data for a Bongo. I printed off the tracking Datasheet and went back but their response was that although it told you how to do the tracking it didn't give the alignment data. I got the same response from Kwikfit, another local tyre centre as well as ATS. ATS said they would check it out and align to what they took as the correct position.

I was wondering if anyone out there did have the necessary data for the next time I take it in.

Many thanks,
Stig444

They'll probably want the figures in degrees and minutes, not linear.

Minus 10 minutes to positive 1 degree is the range for standard circumference tyres.

Maybe this should be added to the database Ian :)
