Geo Set-up

Post by cnbp173 » Tue May 29, 2007 7:31 pm

Hello to the collective brain,

Question for you. My car just failed it's MOT saying the steering rack needs replaced. Oh well, considering the shunt I gave it trying to avoid a car stopped in the middle of the road on the verge, I'm not too surprised.

Was wondering though, if it'll have the GEO thrown when they replace the rack?

If so, can someone tell me what the GEO setup should be for an S1, so I can insure they put it back together properly..

Cheers
Robbie

here are

std S1 settings:
ride height: front 140mm/rear 140mm
castor 4° front
front camber -0.1°
rear camber -1.8°
front alignment 0.2mm toe-out overall
rear alignment 1.2mm toe-in each side

http://www.scottishelises.com/wiki/index.php/Geometry_Setup wrote: Geometry Standard S1 & S2
Ride Height F/R 130/130mm
Steering axis inclination 12°
Front Castor +3.8°
Front Camber -0.1°
Front alignment/toe 0.2mm OUT Overall
Rear Camber -1.8°
Rear alignment/toe 1.2mm IN each side

These settings is to be used when car is loaded with 2x 75kg passengers and half tank of fuel.Converting from mm to degrees: 1. Multiply rim diameter in inches by 25.4 to get rim diameter in mm. 2. Multiply the result by PI to get the circumference. 3. Divide the result by 360 to get mm per degree. 4. Divide the toe mm by the mm/degree result to get toe in decimal degrees
