Tracking Settings



  197 F1 R27
Thats good then. I was fearing the over £100 mark.

Not sure if it is the tracking tho. Basically I took it to the Ring a few weeks back. I didn't push hard because can't afford the brakes and tires, but since being there the car has felt slightly heavy under braking at the front and sometimes when pulling away. Just had a look underneath (although have no idea what I am looking at) and have seen that the front tyres are wearing more on the inside than the outside.

Is this tracking or simple wheel alignment? Or something worse?

when you have driven the car around for a while, get out and feel if your wheels are warm around the centre/hub. When i hear you saying that it feels a little heavier from standstill it makes me think your brakes are sticking. I had this once, could clearly feel the rims/wheels being warm and this should never be the case when all is good.

Tyres wearing on the inside is normal when riding a bit of negative camber and toe-out. you can solve this/counter this a bit by doing a little(!) toe-in, makes a more stable straight-line drive too.

Thanks for that Franx
Is it quite an easy job to bring the toe in a little more?


you have a new 197 do'nt you ..just noticed.. i do´nt know the strandard settings for this car. on the 172 cup neutral is always good, and for fine-adjustment people go in or out..

toe in /out must be properly done, it should be done by the specialists (tracking/allignement) unless you know how. My tyre-man showed me how they used to do it in the old days with strings and such...
