You're all implying tracking is a hit and miss affair at high street places! That's partly why I'm planning on doing it myself. Firstly, I can measure the current settings, as I know how the car handles, ie turn in is superb in the dry, but lethal understeer in the wet! Then I can adjust it to centre the steering wheel, which is way out and winding me up. Then I can set it to the 'recomended' setting and see how it feels. I've always understood that front wheel drive cars should have just a knats of toe out, to help with stability under acceleration, which is where Yip was coming from at the start. Most of my driving is country lanes with the occasional motorway trip, so turn in is more important than stability at motorway speeds. The other thing to consider, just to get technical, is that diferent tyres have different slip angles, so what works for a budget tyre, may not be best for a Yoko or Bridgestone. I'm just about to put some part worn Bridgestones on (came with a set of multispokes I've just bought) to replace some cheap tyres, so just changing the tyres could make a huge differance! I'll report back when the job's done!
