I took my 200 to Kwik Fit today for the tracking checked, mainly because the little yellow band on the steering wheel was 15mm to the right when I was going in a straight line and it got on my nerves!
The lad who did the alignment on a laser alignment system said according to his 200 data the settings were 0 deg toe as it was when he put it on the system it was running 5 deg (not sure whether that was pos or neg but I had noticed the outer edge of the n/s tyre was seeming to wear a bit)
Ive just been looking through the stuff on here and the consensus seems to be the cup should be set at -0 degrees 12 minutes, +/- 12 minutes.
My question is with 1 minute being 1/60th of a degree and then with a tolerance of +/- 12 minutes it seems that neutral or 0 deg toe is acceptable.
12/60ths of 1 deg seems so small as to be negligable.
So is this toe thing an exact science, does a minute or 12 really make a noticeable difference AND
Is the guy at Kwik Fit right in setting my car at 0 deg dead, toe setting
