Need to get some new tyres soon for my MY00 Turbo. Should I consider getting the tracking laser checked as a matter of course?

PS. Anyone know of a good place to get 4 Toyos in the Dorset/Hants area?

 

Deffo have it checked, with the new tyres on The tyre themselves won't alter the settings but you don't want to risk scrubbing off 4 new tyres Now would be a good time to go for prodrive settings/bumpsteer mod, should you be considering it.

What's the bumpsteer mod about then?

 

Powerstation carry out the bumpsteer mod.

It improves turn in and makes the steering feel a bit more weighty. Well worth doing.

Is also supposed to stop the front wheels splaying under heavy braking.

The website www.powerstation.org.uk says (about the Sunny GTI-R bumpsteer mod)

"The kit consists of a pair of high quality steel rose joints, which replace the original track rod ends. A high carbon steel machined insert is fitted to the steering arm. This lowers the pivot point of the track rod ends, effectively reducing the bumpsteer by two thirds"

yeah, what he said!

I just thought if you'd been thinking about doing it, now would be the time rather than pay for two lots of alignment.
