Re: Wheel alignment for 16 inch radials.

[Kenneth Jones]

Although the standard toe-in for TC's is 3/16 inch or 5 mm., I read in the MG Sydney Opposite Lock Magazine that Philip Dad had settled on O mm. when he fitted radials to the 16 inch. wheels on his TA. I tried this & found my TC oversteering to the extent that was like rolling an aircraft into a turn & correcting with the ailerons to maintain the turn. Resetting at about 2-3 mm. seems about right for my car. Any comments?

G'Day Ken,

You've got me there mate!
Don't know too much about the ailerons... but whenever I'm in the air, I
usually reach for the bloody door handle. The landings can be messy...
and that's just in me pants!

Crikey!
