Wheel alignment problem

Post by Sirrepairalot » Wed Apr 24, 2019 9:56 pm

Hi folks,took the knacker for wheel alignment today,and technician couldn’t get the rear drivers side wheel within the green area.he said he adjusted to max and would not go anymore😡.i am really getting fed up with this thing now.i have changed everything back and front so I could get it tracked and still not much joy.also he could not get the 4x4 light off neither,even though angle sensor has been changed.anyone know why this wheel can’t be adjusted anymore.😏

When you say you have replaced everything does that include item 2

i agree item number 2 will be shot for sure both mine where i also did 11 and 4 just because i had to take them off so why refit old parts , just remember you need a tool to replace this bush but can be brought cheap enough although i did need to modify mine to make it more user friendly , make sure you buy a good quality bush dont wont to be doing the job any time soon again .

As an after thought, remember you need to jack the vehicle up and let the air out (completely) from the airbag, then you can check it for play

When you say "in the green" is it toe or camber that’s out. Has your vehicle been lowered, or sitting low
