    you need to do a search for steering geometry, but i don't know how to spell it,

    Tracking data something like -

    Camber.....0.10 to 1.10
    Caster......1.10 to 2.10
    Toe..........0.03 to 0.15
    Inc. angle...12.35
    SAI............11.55

    i took mine to a (chemix auto center, i think they are country wide )
    after i did a 2" suspension lift, it wont get it bang on after suspension lifting but the experts know through experiance what will work, to make it go straight.

    i know your miles away but for the benefit of others i took mine to chemix in wordsley, near stourbridge, west midlands, i tried other places round hear with the three point computer tracking equipment but they didn't know how to use it. may as well just cough up £50 and get it right first time.......

      Mike,

      If you need the tracking done, don't bother with Kwik Fit or any of the local car tyre places. Their equipments doesn't seem to be right for 4x4 tyres. Try Ski Tyres near Waitrose (in New St, I think) as they are a van tyre dealer and can deal with Surf tracking. Alternative, try the local Toyata dealer in Tewkesbury Road.

        thanks for that mike,but just one thing i never, never ever go anywhere near kwik fit also the toyota dealer in cheltenham has to be one of the best dealers to deal with regards bits for imports, i have used them a lot for my soarer and they came up trumps for the high level brake light bulbs for the surf.

          Hi Mike,

          Yes, I've used Brooklyn for most of the parts I couldn't get easily from Roughtrax in Bristol and so long as I've provided my VIN they've had no problems at all in getting bits, even some of the more obscure ones.

          As for Kwik Fit, don't also use Ebley Tyres in Swindon Road as they are also part of Kwik Fit and can be just as useless. I only go there if I've no other option.
