BRA 289 tracking settings
Hi, can anyone tell me the correct setting for camber tow etc as the man at the garage will not go ahead, thanks
Re: BRA 289 tracking settings
If you have the original MGB Front Axle Beam then use MGB setting

Re: BRA 289 tracking settings
I agree with Migge.
1/16” ( 1.5 mm) to 1/8” ( 3mm) toe in
I use 0.75 degrees negative camber using Hawk’s adjustable lower wish bones but I think others use only 0.5 degree. I don’t think you can change a standard MGB camber.

Re: BRA 289 tracking settings
Many thanks for the advice but the guy couldn't do it as the bushes are worn, so is this all mgb stuff as well ? And also do I change bushes for standard type or is there an upgrade? . Cheers Russ
Re: BRA 289 tracking settings
Russ,
Pictures would help. If you have an MGB front as usual, then you have all MGB bushes etc. Capiche?
Here you go for rubber ones:

Here for Poly:

King pins are okay? If not:

Ok I hope you can tell me if this is MGB suspension or not as you can tell I'm no mechanic and thanks for the links Russ
Re: BRA 289 tracking settings
It is an MGB beam but changed from lever arm shocks to coil over ones.
Here is an original one with lever arms:

Yours looks like a Moss conversion or custom one. Pics are not that good

Anyway, you still need the original bushes for both versions. Just count them how many.

Re: BRA 289 tracking settings
Ok thanks for that, I will try to get under it and have a better look and maybe clearer photos, it's a bit of a mess under there also the engine mounts are knackered but they don't look like the mgb ones as for as I can tell or Rover so that will be something else I need to sort out. Cheers
