I have found that since ive lowered my fezzy<br> and put 15's with 195/45 on im having to get<br>my tracking done more often,all steering<br>components dont seem to be showing ware as i<br>regularly check these,do any of you lads<br>have similar problems of not,any sudgestions<br>please?????????????

Could just be the wider tyres are more prone to pulling the car out of alignment. Does it tend to wander over the road???

well after a while it does tend to pull to the left a little bit yes,i think you could<br>be wright actually i think its the wider<br>tyres which could be pulling it out of <br>alignment more often,but i dont know how to solve this,maybe its an affect of wider<br>tyres

Hmmm, tricky this. There are loads of different ways, but essentially you have to stiffen the steering and suspension components, e.g. using a good shock and spring combi (I hear Avo coilovers are good - anybody?) is a good start. Poly bushes are a must, as is a very precise tracking adjustment. Make sure there is minimal wear on all the front suspension-related components (visual inspection, and the one in the Haynes manual should do), and keep tyres pumped up at the exact right pressure.<br><br>Also, driving technique is very important - my donor car has f***ing awful tracking, and it used to be a common occurence to blink in the fast lane at 1*0 MPH and find myself in the middle lane - now I avoid the inside lane (the car gets thrown around the ruts from lorries) and practically let the car drive itself.<br><br>Umm, I must be bored to have written all that waffle.
