Been messing with some tracking changes on the car. Well, do this a lot really, all part of the 'if its nor broke, start fiddling with it' phillosophy on life.

Am adjusting toe in via the track rod ends at the front.

Now on any normal car there would be a flat on the track rod end, a locknut and a flat on the trackrod itself for the adjustment.

But on the Cerb the trackrod is completely round all the way up its length. Are you really supposed to grab the rod itself with a set of molegrips. This does seem rather Kit car like.

Any one adjusted their own tracking??

Or tack on a couple of nuts when fitting your new rack.

yep, well there you go. Mole grips on a thin rod can't see a problem there.

By the way while I have both your attentions, I think I might be doing the wrong thing.

The change I want to effect is when I'm pulling out of a corner and starting to feed in the power. With hands off the wheel I want it to straighten up faster.

To achieve this I'm starting to add a bit more toe in. Am I on the right track. (geddit)

You want to improve the Cerberas self centering then?? I doubt you'll improve it too much, its something I have never found Cerberas are particularily good at...
