PAS too light - ideas please?

[kittie]

Ah now that is interesting, tomorrow I'm having my new brakes fitted which requires swapping the hubs for 16v ones so I wonder if it could be checked then. It might be worth asking the bloke who's fitting it all as owns a bodyshop/accident repair place so I would have thought he'd know a bit about suspension geometry.

that'll sort it then

if your fitting the 16v hub's then the alignment will need setting , as your camber will get moved 

i know as i have to do mine after wapping to G60 brakes at the the weekend 

[rubjonny]

I set both sides of mine to max camber, was ok when on stock struts/ride height but was waaaaaay -ve when lowered.  the insides of my tires disapeared very fast 

[sidecarphil]

i thought i got mine right (about)

huh pulled like hell 

was a MILE out on the machine LOL

Could be a fault with your rack (valving), or the relief valve in your pump could have gone...

Valving - what does this mean? I hope it's not a problem with the rack as they seem to be very expensive to replace 

I've always been suspicious of the pump to be honest. The first recon one that got put on pissed all the fluid out after about 70 miles so had to have another fitted and I never trusted it since!

I will definately be getting four wheel alignment done, thanks for the info! I hope that solves it but I'll just have to wait and see...

[sidecarphil]

i have no experience with VW racks but most other car makes have the pressure relief valves in the rack

these reliese pressure back to the pump if it gets too high

might be the problem

the last place i worked we used hawleys on holme lane and challenger on rutand road
