Les et al

I have S1 upper wishbones!!!!

Thanks for the diagrams Les, infact only measured to see if the arms were bent, as I compared front and back to each other and the difference was obvious.

However per my discussion with Tony, and his lowers are S2 with S1 uppers, I will continue with the mixed arms and see how close I can get the settings to my preferred targets.

Can I do any simple measurements to try and ascertain what settings I might be close to without first visiting an alignment shop? I know how to go about checking camber and toe in, what about caster assessment - how can this be done?

Also why the shim limits either side of the top ball joint?

And what is it about the car's narrower track width and lighter weigh that makes the suggestion of rear toe in a more successful option?

Cheers

If I can set up myself to something sensible I will road test to see how good, bad or indifferent the car is prior to getting professional alignment.
