Wheel Alignment For a Phase 1....

Evening all! :)

Could anybody tell me if the Geo settings in the knowledge base for the Phase 2 are the same settings that are used for setting up a Phase 1 properly?

I'm having my Vee aligned next friday and I'm trying to find the correct info I can take with me to make sure it's tracked up right, but there seems to be quite abit of different information around the forum when I search,

Would someone be kind enough to put the right settings & also what can and cannot be adjusted on a phase 1 in this topic for me please? And maybe have it updated and fill in the gap for the knowledge base section on the phase 1.... :salut:


Thank you muchly! :approve:

that will do! i'll tell mr Super Tracker its really small!

:rofl:

Just wanted to pick some brains as the Super Tracker system works on mm's,


In the Values and settings section in the ph1 manual its says for the -


Front Parallelism :

plus 0 degrees - 30 minutes - plus or minus 10 minutes

It then says in the adjustment box - 1 turn = 30 minutes - which is 3mm

So would the parallelism be in mm:

plus 3mm plus or minus 1mm ?


Rear Parallelism :

plus 0 degrees - 45 minutes plus or minus 10 minutes

its says in that adjustment box - one turn = 1 degree - which is 6mm

So would the parallelism be in mm:

plus 4.5mm plus or minus 1mm ?


I'm using the Mathimatical term that 60 minutes equals 1 degree

60 Minutes = 1 Degree

I think I'm right just wanted to run it past you guys and maybe help in the knowledge base to make alittle more sense of it for other people,

:approve:
 
From what you have said you are correct, but remember you are comparing linear distance, ie mm vs angular measurment ie degrees. The only true relationship stems from the pitch of the threads of the adjusters in this case, say 3mm pitch thread, one revolution or complete turn moves by its pitch ie 3mm. Hope this makes sense and good job of challenging the reasoning. :approve:

The only other thing to be mindful is that the tolerances shown are the combined angle for both wheels, ie you will be given a reading for each wheel, which ideally should be equal to each other ( or very near) , which when added together give you the tolerance stated in the settings 'for 2 wheels'

Thanks for that Mark,

Yes I did see that both the front & rear parallelism were for each pair of wheels, and that I have to halve the measurment and plus or minus tollerance setting for each wheel,


So the fronts each would be:

plus 1.5mm plus or minus 0.5mm


And the rears each would be:

plus 2.25mm plus or minus 0.5mm
 
Yep, my own car after alignment
front toe 1.4mm / 1.4mm total +2.8mm and rear toe 2.3mm/2.3mm total +4.6mm
