magister Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Bit of a long shot, but has anyone local to Leicestershire got some tracking equipment I could borrow? - I need to set the tracking on my Defender. Thanks PaulB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6speedmanual Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Centre the steering box with a 8mm drill bit in the slot. Check your steering wheel is on centre. Set up tracking to spec using tape measure across under the vehicle, tread groove to opposite corresponding tread groove. (Needs tyres of same tread pattern on both ends of axle.) Adjust as required with trackrod. Drive on road and adjust drag link to bring steering wheel to straight ahead position. Job done. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 There are some tracking devices available here in Holland for approx 50 Euro, used in cars, motorcycles, boats, trailers, as long they get 12v-24v. They use a Sim card... Kind regards, arno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revilla Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Arno, I think the OP was referring to "wheel tracking" i.e. toe in, toe out rather than tracking a missing vehicle. Two different meanings of the word "tracking" 😬 Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elie boone Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 easy to make something yourself, a tube of 25mm and a tube of 20mm that slides in the 25mm pipe. Drill a hole in the bigger tube and weld a nut on the hole so that you can fix the smaller tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
