Hi
Is there someone out there who can offer me some advice.
After some time re fettling my old Allora I ended up with nice new wheels / tyres and then attempted to bit by bit sort out the huge vertical gap between the top of the wheel and the bodywork above and also the fact that the wheel was buried into the wheel arch.
I'm grateful for a great deal of help with these issues from David Jowsey.
Now I'm getting somewhere, but after fitting some wheel spacers I now find, just the passenger side, the tyre makes contact with the front clam at the bottom edge on full lock. The drivers side is clear - yes the Allora chassis and body alignment was poor.
However in a rush to find a quick solution I am wondering if the caster angle could be out - ie too much off vertical. I then noticed in the "Allora build manual" a caster angle of 9 degrees is specified which may be too high ?
From my limited knowledge it seems that reducing the camber angle would effectively move the wheel rearward slightly so may solve the problem - but create another of course.
I'd appreciate any thoughts on this as my only other option is to take the spacers back off for now.
Thanks
