Correct wheel alignment is critical to the handling and to the life of the tyres on the Sport.
As several members seem to be undertaking wheel alignment checks, either at their dealers or tyre shop, can someone please confirm from the LR Technical Files that the following are the correct and complete data for the wheel alignment of the Sport and also publish any additional information LR may give on this subject:-
Front Suspension:
Castor = 4º 01' ± 45' (4.02º ± 0.75º)
Cross Castor = 0º ± 45' - Maximum (0º ± 0.75º - Maximum)
Camber = -30' ± 45' (0.50º ± 0.75º)
Cross Camber = 0º ± 45' - Maximum (0º ± 0.75º - Maximum)
King Pin Inclination (KPI) = 13º 54' (13.9º)
Total Toe - all models except TdV8 = - 0º 10' ± 12' (- 0.16º ± 0.20º)
Total Toe - TdV8 models only = - 0º 05' ± 12' (- 0.08º ± 0.20º)
Steering Geometry - Rear
Rear Suspension at Standard Ride Height:
Camber = -1° ± 45' (-1° ± 0.75º)
Cross Camber = 0° ± 51' - Maximum (0° ± 0.85º - Maximum)
Total Toe - all models except TdV8 = 0º 14' ± 0.08' (0.24º ± 0.14º)
Total Toe - TdV8 models only = 0º 24' ± 0.12' (0.40º ± 0.20º)
Thrust Angle = 0º ± 8' - Maximum (0º ± 0.14º - Maximum
Incidently, for anyone experiencing the car drifting or pulling to one side, it is critical that the front Castor angles are not only within LR's tolerance limits but also that they are as near as possible identical i.e. not at opposing ends of the tolerance limit.
