Unfortunately, when replacing the rusty components, none of the suppliers had the adjustable links, and all advised fitting the later fixed ones. Looks like that may have been a bad idea with hindsight, as I have now lost the ability for the garage to make adjustments!
Just checked, and no-one has the adjustable ones, so maybe I'm stuck with that.
Well, it seems a bit better, but nowhere as stable as it was before all the changes.
I'm assuming that it's not the change to Toyo tyres (previously Continentals), so putting it down to suspension changes with new subframes etc.
For those in the know, the toe-in (as my previous reply) is pretty well spot on now, BUT the camber figures (which I don't pretend to understand) are as follows:
Front: Left - 0 deg 44 min Right + 0 deg 27 min Spec value for both is Min - 0 deg 40 min, Max + 0 deg 20 min
Rear: Left + 0 deg 20 min Right - 0 deg 44 min Spec value for both is Min - 1 deg 44 min Max - 0 deg 44 min
So with front ones are out of range, as is left rear. But with no adjustment possible, any thoughts please? I'm just guessing it's down to the subframes?
Its behaviour is "tolerable" at speeds up to around 60, but as I say it's certainly not as stable as it used to be. Seems quite sensitive to side winds on dual carriageways - passing traffic, for example.
Any suggestions very welcome as it would be nice to restore it to its former stable self!
Thanks for various advice.
Today, local "Indy" garage had a look, and the toe-in both front and rear were some way off the MG spec. He adjusted them, so now front is exactly 0 degrees, and rear is 0 degrees and 32 minutes - pretty well exactly as per MG spec.
Have yet to try out the car at speed, but hoping that change will have a positive effect.
He tells me camber and caster are not adjustable on standard spec MG TFs - but his print-out shows that the camber angles are different for each side (true of both front and rear). Should I be concerned, or is this pretty typical on TFs, does anyone know?
Thanks, MGB281. Good to hear you got it sorted. I have mine booked in with a local independent tyre depot for Thursday. and I am going armed with the correct data as supplied by Roverlike a couple of days ago. We'll see what happens!
