Suspension setup

[Paul w]

Hi,
Does anyone have all the suspension geometry info?
caster, camber, toe in and out etc?

I'm still not 100% happy with the way mine handles.

New shocks have arrive...oooh adjustable.....mmmmmm

Want to get it set up spot on after fitting them

Front toe 0 +- 3mm
Rear toe 1 +- 3mm

Front camber -30 mins +- 1 degree
Rear camber -30 mins +- 1 degree

Caster 7 degrees 20 mins +- 1 degree

But only the front and rear toe is adjustable.

Camber and caster only adjustable with kerbs or hammer. :D

Steve can you confirm the distance between wheel centres is 2280 (I can't magnify the page)

Paul,
I've been suffering wheel wobble at above 50-55mph and it gets quite unstable at 80 (Oops thats 70 really), so I had a rally driver/mechanic take mine out this week end (Yes even he was grinning like a maniac) He's advised me to either get new tyres or get my alloys fitted first but he also said he thinks the car needs more weight on the front, either that or a spoiler to get some down force.

Steve what say you to that as a suggestion cos I've not seen a front bumber for the Beat that would do that???

Cheers steve.....lend me a big hammer then!

Tim - have you looked into on the car wheel balancing? some places still do it and while not as accurate as off the car, it can pic up disc and other components that are giving problems.
