I had been suffering with slight to huge judders from the front since i had my zed from last october. It got really bad in the past 2 months above 60mph. Last week i fitted adjustable front upper suspension links with a spirit level heh, and i think i got the camber bang on. But the ride was still awfull above 60mph. So today i got replacement Falken 451 ZR-Y's fitted on the front and by gum the difference is massive. The zed now rides as true as a bullet and well balanced. I feel like i have a new car lol.

 

The chilling thing is that the negative camber was warping my tyres. I could have had a blow out. I did not realise now ruined my tyres were until i took them of the the first time myself 3 weeks ago. Terrified by the really uneven wear i got on the case and now they are sorted :hyper:

Nice one! It is always nice to solve these problems, a great sense of achievement.

think you still need to get a proper wheel alignment done......spirit level :nono:

Have a look at this site. It may convinve you to get a 4 wheel check at least.

 

If you have changed the upper arms to adjustable ones it won't take long to get it sorted.

 

wheels-inmotion is now a member of this forum and I'm sure would give you some advice.

 

Sorted mine out for me.

coopers, I can't help but notice that your number plate there is completely covering the radiator, does it not overheat?

Nice work bud. Now go get the geometry set up by a pro! Well worth the small amount of cash it will cost you.

I have got it booked in with Zedworld in late June to sort alignment exactly, hence why i had a go myself now. And tomorrow i will have a look at rear camber which i belive i can set without extra gubbings as i have a TT.

you don't need to wait that long mate ,anywhere that offers 4 wheel laser alignment locally will be able to set this up for you next week

Not that I have noticed yet. Was planning a new number at some stage.

 

Broken the speedo trying to delimit it soleast of my worries at the moment.

 

Thanks for the info though.

Understand the possibility of camber wear may return! With the best intentions a spirit level cannot be considered absolute........ Be wise!.... Tiss better than Dead!
