Guys,

 

please help..curbed my Zed a while ago avoiding a lane greedy lorry and have been to have a full algnment check 9once bent bits replaced - thankyou Andy Z. The matey said that the front nearside caster angle was well out of alignment and that I had probably bent something but I have had it looked at by a mechanic and there seems to be nothing wrong.

 

What's confusing is that the nearside is in the centre of the arch and the off-side (which is supposed to be correct) is set forward in the arch and rubs on the inside of the arch when turning? :confused:

 

Since most of you know a Zed inside out what could it be? or failing that where can I go (I live in Reading) to get it looked at by someone who knows Zed's.

Iv had the exact same thing ,apart from my alloy was totaly fooked :cry:

but after fitting new ones and getting all my wheels alligned the garrage said something must be bent, mine is pulling to the left a bit....... so if you get any good advice on this i would ace if you could drop me an e-mail or something! :bow:

Cheers mate!

An easy way would be to measure different points both sides and see if theres any difference,how hard did you hit it?check the front s/frame bolts for signs of movement.HTH :)

Had the same thing after losing an argument with a post in a car park :slap:

 

Everything looked straight, but once I started putting straight edges on everything it turned out that the lowermost arm was very slightly twisted - which obviously gets magnified by the geometry. It took hours to find, so have a proper good look (ideally in a pit). I could probably take a pic over the weekend and show you where mine was gone if noone else can name what I'm on about...
