In the last issue, we looked into the theories that lie behind the subject of wheel alignment, we now consider the areas and means of adjustment that Jaguar have provided for us, and with them, how to achieve the perfect set up. Why bother? Optimised alignment will at the very least, reward us with minimised tyre wear, affording consequent running cost advantages – to this end, fuel will also be conserved if rolling resistance is as low as possible. A consideration gaining importance by the day!
Beyond this, handling and braking performance will be consistent, and thus may one day save us from an accident situation. Finally, it will imbue the car with that indefinable ‘correct’ feel that only a well set up car can provide – the steering wheel set arrow straight and
