New wishbones - tracking/camber querie

[lazyitus]

I've recently had new upper wishbones on the front.

Naturally, things aren't as straight down there as they need to be so..

what is priority, tracking or camber? or both??

I mean, will it be OK to just get the tracking sorted for now or will I be punished for not geting the camber set at this immediate time too?

Cheers

Few bits of string, couple a bits of wood, spirit level

I would mate, but I can't find any string in the house.

Tracking is more urgent because you can wipe out a pair of tyres in nothing flat if the tracking is far enough out. You do need to set the camber and check the castor too though. As a very quick and dirty way to get the camber somewhere close, put a couple of boards under the front wheels with the outer edges spaced up to angle it at about 1 degree (1mm vertical spacer per 60mm width on the board) and then just slacken off the camber adjusters and let the wheels take up the angle of the boards. You didn't hear this from me though, OK? Do get it set up properly afterwards.

Thanks, Green.

On a Griffith, the camber and tracking are inter-dependant. If you change the camber, the tracking will change slightly too. I can't see that getting both done at the same time will cost you significantly more than getting only one done and certainly less than going back twice! The trick is to do the camber first. If you're really only going to do one thing, I'd do the tracking first.

Just to let you know (if interested).

Got everything done - what a difference!

Confidence reigns supreme.
