Re: suspension lift

What is your suspension height (bottom of rim through centre to lip of guard)? If you are under 815mm there should be plenty of adjustment.

What were the final adjustment settings?

815mm

Re: suspension lift

That's the upper limit of a spring/strut lift.

What settings are they trying to align too?

I have 810mm in the front, have some adjustment left and use the following specs:

Camber: (left and right) 30" +

Caster: (left and right) 1' 45" +

Toe in: 0.5mm

The factory alignment specs are less than ideal.

Did it fall within spec when they aligned it? if it did and its still pulling try swapping the front two tyres over.

If you put your location in your profile then maybe someone can recommend an alignment shop that can think outside the square...

Re: Post lift wheel alignment issue

If you have had a lift and more agressive tyres then you may notice what appears to be an alignment issue where it pulls to the left BUT it could just be the natural curvitaure on the road for water run off. Find a smooth road quite road and drive down the center to eliminate the natural curviture of the road and see if there is any pull to the left. May not be alignment at all but just something to get use to.

Do you have Cooper or MT tyres fitted ?

What spec do they have it at ?

We go 10-15 pos camber 1-1.5mm toe in, castor what ever we can balance it out at with lift normally.
