chasinthemirage 1,316 Report post Posted January 24, 2018 @Shakotom do you have issues with the tyres rubbing on the floor behind the pedals on full R/H lock or is that just a VL thing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, no issues. Would almost guess you don’t have enough caster? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chasinthemirage 1,316 Report post Posted January 24, 2018 Hmm interesting. Hasn't had an alignment while I've had it but it's only with the BMW alloys which increase the track width by about 20mm a side so maybe something to do with that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shakotom 6,987 Report post Posted January 24, 2018 I had steels that were widened out 50mm each side on the front of mine and no rub Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chasinthemirage 1,316 Report post Posted January 24, 2018 Doesn't sound particularly promising then. I'll have a look under it tomorrow, considering the shocks I replaced last week were OE the bushes may be the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KKtrips 21,939 Report post Posted January 24, 2018 Did you put the bearing plates back in the same orientation they came out? The centre is offset to the mounting bolts and if you have it out by a third of a turn then you will have altered your caster and camber. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chasinthemirage 1,316 Report post Posted January 24, 2018 Haven't touched the front of this one, just replaced the rear shocks with some spares I had. The mags on it were rubbing when I bought it, I think the fella that had it before me was a bit of a Barry so I'll give it a check over this weekend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
