Tracking 440/460/480/t

Hi,

Would anyone here know if the tracking angles / degrees / whatever are different on the 440 / 460 / 480 + turbo models.

The garage i've had mine tracked at states it is a 'Volvo 460' only. Also my steering wheel is off centre so i'd like it re-adjusted.

i thought that part of the tracking involved centering the wheels, and clamping some device on to keep it centered....then they adjust the wheels accordingly.....my garage do anyway.
not sure on angles/camber etc etc

That's what I thought also... I guess if the wheel isn't centred in the first place.. I called the garage anyway and they remember my car and will take a look and re-adjust for me (hopefully without charge)..

The correct setting is toeing out half a degree,plus or minus half a degree.

Thats not lowered

Mine lowered on 40mm PI springs needed to be set up normallly,then a degree and a half toeing in to compensate.

There ya go!
