if you 'do the tracking' on a car you adjust the camber, toe in or toe out till its correct.

And yours gets knocked out stopping outside of all the shops in your shopping cart

20mm out in the end.

Pain to do. Rear is tracked up and then the front! Strange system!

I think the tracking is out on my Astra, front passenger tyre seems slightly more worn than the driver's side. Sometimes if the wheel is straight it'll go in a straight line, other times feels like it's pulling to the left.

Also vibration city after 60mph... Tracking and balancing?

Oh and another thing... Why is the steering mega light when I drive the car from cold but feels heavier when engine is at normal operating temperature? I have PAS by the way.

Sorry to hijack your thread... I think my car is broken.
