Wandering and camber following

[Nick Jones]

So, my new (to me) 2.8 2WD is nice in most ways but does have various areas of "personality"

The one for this section is that the steering is a bit vague about the centre position and it likes to follow road camber more than usual. This is not quite even though. ON a "normal" road where camber slopes left, it goes pretty straight. Where the camber slopes to the right it pulls quite markedly right and also on the flat (as far any road is flat) though to a much lesser extent.

It has 18" "sport wheels" though it was not born a sport. I don't know whether the suspension has been modified to match. It feels pretty firm.

Tyres are all pretty new. Dunlop Sportmaxx RT on the front, Rotalla RU01s on the rear (which are a big improvement on the tatty and perished Pirelli PZeros).

The fronts do show some feathering on the outer edges so likely toe-in (may explain the dead ahead vagueness).

Clearly it needs 4 wheel aligning (made a HUGE difference to my last one), but experience has shown that'll I have to get all the adjustment points moving before taking it in - and that can be a mission in itself, especially at the back.

So I'm going to be under there poking at it - any suggestions on what to be looking for. Not looking for a full rebuild - the A6 is my winter project.....

Thanks

Nick
