shaun1200 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 just brought my first ke11 and noticed how bad it tracks with the grooves in the road, is there anything to help this or is it just something you have to get used to??? at the moment its running 13x175mm meshies but i was hoping by throwinging the 12in stockies back on and doing the idler arm bush as well as the rear shackle bushes it would help cut it down a bit any ideas??? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pmp16 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 i fond any bigger tyres than the stock 12" makes them track with road lol try driving my wagon with 15" wow always counter steering it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbey Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Shit tyres can sometimes tend To make it track a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordain Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 The problem is theres no castor adjustment with the ke10's.... datto 1200's do it aswell as you can't adjust the castor until you thread the castor rod more and add an extra nut and wind some castor into it... as soon as you add abit more castor they stop tracking so bad. As everybody else has said tyres aswell shaun. :) Have fun...... remember to do your wheelnuts up lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun1200 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Yeah no worries , I'm getting 4 New tyres on the standard 12in rims on Monday as well as a wheel alignment and I'm going to replace the idler arm bush as well as the rear shackle bushes, so hopefully that helps abit with the handling side of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 If there is a range for toe measurements in the specs, have them set it towards the toe-in end of the range rather than the tow-out end. Toe-out makes it track more. The Altezza specs are total toe +0.8mm (min -0.7 to max +2.3mm) So anywhere from toe-out 0.7 to toe-in 2.3 is considered fine. However toe-out crucifies the tyre's inner treads on those cars, so we always aim for 2 to 2.3mm toe-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Anyone that is interested, the 30' in 1030' is 30 minutes, so it is 1.5 degrees. Does it track all the time or only on certain roads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
