          nah, that's fixed...

          only adjustment would be if you had adjustable panhard rod or such like.


          i'm working in TNT right next to frogs island tomorrow.

            Not much point in touching the rears, as the axle is fixed in place by the upper and lower control arms.
            They did use those laser thingies when they did mine though, they hook them on the front wheels and the lasers point to a gauge on the rears.

            My old mud tyres were virtually bald on the inner edges, should have got the tracking done last year, but you know how it is, ..............couldn't be arsed!

              Got mine done when I got the Kumhos, and it was spot on. They still wear slightly more on the inner edge though. Not excessively, but noticeable.

                I don't think mine has ever been done before, they had to get the gas axe on the adjusters!!!

                      That's what I thought about the rears, but he did ask what motor I had, and said that some motors can't be done on the rears, but the Surf can????

                      My inners are also wearing badly.

                      I quite like the look of the General Grabber A/T2, and they do it in my tyre size too.....

                        nah, you can only adjust toe in/out and caster/camber on the front of surfs... they use the back wheels as a reference...

                        any tyre place should have the ability, but they might not have the right brackets to fit the tyres.
