The gent there was only too happy to help. He had a close look and said that the "toe in" needed adjusting and the camber was out. The "toe in" was adjusted via the track rod, but to my knowledge made no further changes.</span><br style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px;" class=""><br style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(252, 252, 255);" class="">The tyre wear issue remained and in 1990 I took the car to another steering specialsit, this time one that specifically worked with cars. Before continuing with what was to happen, I shall digress and return in the next paragraph. I remember discussing the tyre wear issue with some fellow Rover owners, one of which was the Service Manager at the Range Rover business that I used. The soultion I was told was to "shim" the top link.</span><br style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px;" class=""><br style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(252, 252, 255);" class="">So to return to the steering specialist. When I spoke to the gent on the phone to make the appointment, I told him of the car and what was happening. He obviously was familiar with the model of car, because he then said...can you please remove the glove boxes, as we will possibly need to put some shims in.</span><br style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px;" class=""><br style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(252, 252, 255);" class="">Upon arrival, I stayed and watched what he did. The car was driven onto a ramp, where the front wheels would sit on movable pads. He loosened the 4 nyloc nuts that secure the top links and then with the handbrake applied and the front suspension free to move slightly on the moveable pads, he placed shims in behind the top link, top and bottom on the outside closest to the guard.</span><br style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(252, 252, 255);" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: rgb(252, 252, 255);" class="">Both side were treated the same.
