one of my front wheels is looking in, when lokin at the wheel from the front its looks in at the top, also noticed my tyre has wore on the inside (it may be catching on something), also noticed a knocking sound on full left hand down lock

 

any ideas

Get your tracking, caster and camber looked at

Looking in??

 

You mean it has excessive negative camber or is the toe really out?

not sure what camber and toe is, as im lookin at the wheel fro in front of my car,the top of the wheel is looking in (goes under the arch more than the other wheel does)

 

ive been outside and noticed that the outer side of the passenger wheel is worn slightly

Hit any kerbs recently ? You have excessive negative camber, and if its on just one side, then its likely that where the upper link arm bolts to the body has been bent from a knock.

That's camber (I think)

havent had a knock or anything, will have to get it on my ramps at he weekend

That's the camber. Sounds like you have excessive negative camber. You're fitting coilovers right? Or have you fitted them? You'll need to get camber adjustment arms and adjustable tension rods. I fitted them to mine last month with all new suspension and the camber is perfect now. You can adjust them to suit.

 

I had really bad negative camber before I rebuilt my suspension, but I have it exactly how I want it now.

That looks absolutley bang on Si !

how much are these other components si????

Danny (DTA) has been running a GB on all the bits you'll need. Not sure if it's still open. But certainly he can get them. Powertrix are the ones I have.

 

I got rear adjustment arms too.

 

cheers si, have pm'd him for a price

right im going for the powertrix camber arms and adjustble tension rods

just got to wait for danny to get them in stock

Stella havent you had new tyres recently?

 

If you put new rubber on it increases your rolling radius slightly and will highlight a problem that may of been there before but less noticable with old rubber.

 

If you have had new tyres are the profile dead the same as the old ones.

 

Take it for a cast and camber check at a spcialist, no kwick fits etc.

 

Jeff folkes wheels in Ibstock is a good one but probably a bit far for you.

its rear tyres i put n bud, the way the fronts have worn is the same as the last set of tyres i had on (over a year ago) my bro in law is goignto have a look at it, then when i get my bits fitted im taking it to http://www.robershawracing.co.uk to get it set up, they run a race team and certainly know what they are doing
