Off-topic if the club is interested we do hold club free meets as seen here>
http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/simplegallery.php?id=1&button2=View+Gallery maybe this club would be interested in a "heads-up" on this Geometry lark and we can explain why the MB pulls and how simple it is to solve?

Sounds interesting!!

Is the first club photo the autobahnstormers??

I'd certainly be interested in a GTG there !

It would appear so ..... No this is the Omega Owners Club meet, these cars can wear the tyre to the wire in as little as 4k.

My Ex-boss had both fronts down to the wire when not very old, one let go on the motorway, which is how he found the wear.

Was that an Omega?

Yes.

Interesting you say that about MB's. What would you know about the reason that C-class W202's (with the crappy steering box setup) feeling wobbly or unstable on a 'bad' road, or a road with varying slopes?

 

[wheels-inmotion]

Yes.

I re-wrote the front calibration positions for the Omega some years ago to stop the severe tyre wear (hence the omega open day at wim) he's welcome to them if needed.

Without seeing the car no. That sort of complaint needs filtering from the most probable, down.

Thanks for the offer but that car went a few years ago. He was just a bit surprised at the rapid inside wear causing a frontal blow out at speed.

Camber is the most violent angle of them all when it comes to tyre wear, the Omega has a very fluid suspension allowing to much dynamic camber gains.
