Its all been set-up on a 4 wheel aligner like so:

Apart from that, the tyres are crap, the stretch is too much, the fronts too stiff... so i've got to get it all sorted out :)

Thanks, Thomas................

I did not know what the settings should be but a quick google came up with this post from mac

Camber front:-
340 B14 = +30' (+30")

340 B172 = -30' (+/- 30")
340 D16 = -30' (+/- 30")
360 All = -30' (+/-30")

Camber rear:-

300 All = -2 deg. (+/- 30')


KPI:- 300 All = 9deg.35' (+/-35')

Castor:- 300 All = 7deg.30' (+/-30')

Toe-in:- 300 All Measured on wheel rim = 3.1mm (+/-0.8mm)
Measured at outer edges of tyre = 5mm (+/-1mm)
Measured at centre of sidewall = 4mm (+/-1mm)

Mollusk
