Good video for any van novices out there who have independent suspension. I experienced a similar problem with my brand new New Age van some 2 years ago now. To this day I am not convinced that New Age were performing a "proper" wheel alignment prior to discharging their independent suspension vans - given it was a significant ($350 + surcharge) to undertake the alignment. I engaged a specialist "over the pits" firm in Toowoomba. While it annoyed me that I had scrubbed out a tyre - it was money well spent. The toe and camber tuned adjustments on the suspension arm fixings were marked with indelible texta/paint so I can now keep an eye on any movement should it occur in the future.
Hi David, thanks for your great feedback. I really hope that this helps a lot of us vanner's out there. I like that idea of the indelible ink on the bolts etc... so I can measure future movement. Thanks for that. Cheers Pete
Had the same problem with my road owl had a mobile wheel alignment done on site he was unable to make it perfect contacted cruise master in Brisbane they had to install off set bushings to rectify the problem they could not have been more helpful then they told me if you have cruise master suspension they will do one free wheel alignment worth checking out
Very interesting. Thankyou for the advice. I will be keeping an eye on mine to ensure even wear going forward and if it doesn’t correct the wear, will follow your lead. Cheers mate 👍👍👍
Hi Richard. Thanks for watching mate. It was $350+gst for the alignment. I think it can be done cheaper at shops etc… but I was happy to pay for the convenience they provided. Cheers Pete
Heck. Thats a lot of money. If you get it done, get them to mark up the bolts and corresponding wishbone frame with an indelible marker, so you can track any further movement. (check out davidbreen3287 comment in this thread - he suggested it). Best of luck mate.
