Escort Cabriolet Club Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 If you replace any components like that then always get the tracking done by a pro mate !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IanA Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I have -40mm springs on my late Mk5 sI and when the tracking was set (after fitting new lower arms) I found that the inside edges of the front tyres wore quickly. I only just caught them in time to swap them legally to the rear (since MOTed OK). I have been adjusting the tracking myself to give less toe-out. I do it by shortening the rack arm on each side by one quarter of a turn at a time. I've done this twice so far and the front tyres now seem to be wearing evenly. Having said that I'm still buying cheap tyres until I'm sure of getting a decent life out of them. The last ones I changed had lasted only 3k. I'd bought cheap lower arms- the bushes only lasted about six months on those. The tyres turning into slicks coincided with a winter trip to Paris in the snow- interesting!!! The upside was that my bean can exhaust sounded great in the tunnels. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AntChester Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 hi Standard setting is +2 you may find you still get wear, if so you'll need to sort out your camber angle... i gess you can get adjustable top mount's but not to sure for escorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
