Tyres wearing

4 wheel alignment is for 4 wheel drive cars. Theres no point checking the rear wheel alignment (unless damage suspected) as this is non-adjustable.
I have yet to find a garage that does 4 wheel alignment as i was gone get my dads Audi quattro checked.

well i got mine done in Belfast!

as far as i know with a 4 wheel alignment they align the fronts to compensate for the rears

Yep thats what they do on 4 wheel drive cars. On front wheel drive cars they just set toe to 0 degrees.

[Gambit]

my toe is set to +1 degree

[golfvr6]

Whats the setting on mk2, i haven't got it to hand. In general its usually 0+or-?

[Gambit]

1 degree toe out for mk2s

[golfvr6]

The book says toe should be 0+-10 on a mk2.

[Gambit]

what it measured in?

how many mm's in a degree??

i havent a clue!

[golfvr6]

Toe is measured in degrees and minutes of degrees, ie 60 minutes in 1 degree.
Golf 2 should between -10 minutes and +10 minutes.
Its easier to set the toe at 0 degrees.
