Hi,

Can one just go to Kwik Fit to get the wheel alignment done on a Morgan or is it a more specialist job?

Does anyone have settings for such?

Thanks,
Will

Wheel alignent depends on what wheels & tyres you have and the handeling characteristics you want to promote.

The adjusting the tracking is pretty easy. Camber needs spacer parts.

My 4/4 manual states

Quote( 0" -1/8". Toe out even in the smallest degree, is to be avoided )

Generally more tow in will promote turn in and slightly lighter steering with the penalty of increasing tyre scrubbing (outer edge) and potential suspension jacking due to "pinching" of the front end.

As you're in Perthsire, why not give Russell Paterson Morgan (RPM) in Perth a ring? They will know.

Is your tracking faulty (tyre wear? pulling to one side?), or do you want to achieve some sort of change in handling?
