My car has camber and toe all over the place!! Eeep!

[rfzd]

So I just had a service on monday. However after they did god only knows what to it...... It now feels like rubbish to drive. The steering wheel is now off centre when driving straight. So with little options in canberra I took it down to pedders and got the 28 point check. Here are the results.


Rear axle. Left Right
Camber -2*14' -1*33'
Individual Toe -1.3mm -0.3mm
Total Toe -1.6mm
Geometrical driving axis. +0*05'

Front Axle
Camber -1*16' -2*15'
Individual Toe +1.5mm +4.5mm
Total Toe +6.0mm

So it would seem that everything is all over the place. So time to get it fixed. Any recommendations?

Get the place you took it to originally to fix free of charge and demand to know wtf they did to it in the first place.

I only have one recommendation for you, dont let Mazda do anything with your alignment, balance rotation stuff. I always tell them dont do it when I take it for service and Ive always taken my car to Jax at Phillip who Im more than happy with.

Couldn't Pedders fix that up while they had the car?

I agree with Artemis, dont put up with that, tell them what its like to drive and say your not happy with the end result.

This was my last alignment at Mazda. Fulcrum Suspension dude said it looked good. Not sure how it compares to yours, but thought it might help.

The pedders guy said the car was not camber adjustable and they had no kits that could fix it. Will be back to mazda tomorrow as dad has the car today.

Checking out your pic in relations to mine now Yeldarb.

Fark are you sure one of their guys didn't take it a bit too hard round a bend and potentially hit a gutter???

you're right they don't have camber adjustment but doesn't mean it should be out by that much, should have a look to see if anything is bent or perhaps a bush could be worn out???

Sounds a bit iffy to me, taking it to Mazda then getting it back driving like that....

[rfzd]

Only thing they said they did was rotate the tyres as the front had the inside worn out of them... Time to hoist it and poke about somehow...

is your car lowered???
