Getting the moke ready for the CMU event drives in April. Moke dives to the right when taking foot off the gas so time to take a look at the alignment. I am sure things have setteled in now that I have 2000 miles on it. Hope the weather stays nice for driving the moke.
I have the opposite problem, inno pulls right at speed. All the time, no matter what adjustments I've made.
WillieB, be sure to check the tie bar at the very front, I've had the nut on the front come loose. I used to use a nylock, now I double nut them.
Dan did you ever cross rotate the front tires to see if the pull moved with them?
I won't be able to do the CMU run this year, but I'm hoping to make the one the following Oct. as long as it's not in Wytheville again. BTDT too many times now.
Tires or different tires and wheels made no difference.
The part that goes to the wheel was maxed out on the smaller size. It was fun as the previous car had 22" wheels it was used on.
What did they find? Was it way off? If you have stock suspension, all you have available to adjust is front toe....
I have fully adjustable front and rear. All the settings in the front were off soo all set back now. Rear was good. It helped with the going right but did not get rid of it completely. But what little bit that is left is not a problem compaired to how it was.
What exactly was off and what did they do to resolve it?
Camber left, start -1.6 degree, end -.7. Right start -.9, end -.7. Caster. Left start 2.4, end 3.1. Right start 2.4, end 3.1. Toe Left start .10 in, end .10 out. Right start .20 in, end .10 out.
The little bit of right-pull-on-decelleration remaining may be due to the road crown and/or lane ruts.
My white Moke was sensitive to lane irregularities with the alignment set very similar to your ending values. The lighter weight of the Moke aslo adds to the sensitivity to lane irregularities.
Final follow-up. Found that the front right outer CV was loose on the axle. I could grab the wheel at 3 and 9 and rock it enough to see movement at the rear of the CV where the axel goes. Swapped it for a new CV from a different source and have a nice tight fit with no movement. Poor parts quality as the CV only had 2000 miles on it so was bad from new I am guessing.
Where'd the CVs come from?
I am not sure. I know that the new one I put in had a large size nut on it. Had to go buy a 34mm socket for it.
Those are the "good" heavy duty ones.... :great:
