Self Centering - lack of

[Enoch]

I had a further mess about today, if I now set the wheels to about 0 degrees toe it does still self centre but not as well as with a degree or two of toe out. Dialing in a bit of toe out makes a big difference. I also experimented with tyre pressures but got less marked results from that. To my mind it now complies with the IVA rule with it set so that handling should be Ok so I am a happy camper.
Thanks to all those that replied.

My new garage service has just purchased traditional laser 2 wheel tracking equipment. Not new fangled 4 wheel computer programable stuff..

So They whould be able to set my tracking up nicely for me when I am done .

Traditional but with lasers? How traditional is that?

More to the point, I think 4 wheel alignment is superior, especially for this type of car.

We went to Norwich from Essex, nearest test station since Chelmsford does not do IVA.
We had no self centring with 30psi, added some toe out(a hint from the tester) and it gave enough for him to be happy.did not need to see full centring just a noticeable unwind of the wheel when he let go.
Did you say you have the offset mushroom orientated forwards, we set it pointing to the wheel to get the correct angle on the ball joints
