Hello, I'm just in the process off putting my car back together. I was hoping someone could help me get my tracking somewhere near and measure from the middle of the track rod up to the start of the steering arm. I'll obviously get the tracking sorted as soon as its back on the road. I've added a picture so for where I'd like it measured just in case I'm not making sense :D hope someone can help cheers

I counted the threads before I removed the old one, then just seen if the car rolled straight and adjusted.

:agree: count the turns on the thread as stated and have a good look at wheel angles when back on the ground. Definitely recommend getting tracking properly set up as handling can be shady if not set up right ;).

Depends on what you want to do, but on the road I would go with the following:

Toe: 1mm toe out
Camber: -2 deg (no std adjustment, need camber bolts or slotted holes)
Castor: as much as possible, but equal both sides (no std adjustment)

I'm running -3 deg camber and was worried about inside edge wear, but it's been very minimal.
