confusion on alignment setting
dear all,
Posted on this topic before and many of your kind soul responsed. I have my alignment checked by a porsche specialist few days ago and I have the following result: I am using the RS spec therefore the front and rear consist of 1degree+10/20 anyhow the problem is now at the rear.
I now having 1-19L and 1-15R, the Left side was almost the same as before adjustment but the Right side was 1-34 (Left was 0.5). Now before the adjustment the tires, both side, were rubbing JUST before the indicator (I don't know if I can explain this properly, but with my Michelin it has the small Michelin man on the outer edge of the shoulder, which I believe is an indicator of the outer limit? correct me if I am wrong). And I am talking about after some serious cornering and abuse done to it. My original intention was to give a bit more camber so that the rear can be a little stable during hard cornering. But not the Left is more or less same as before but the right side is now rubbing at least 10 mm further down my previous limit.
My question is under this circumstance should I readjust to 1-44 right side and 1-25 Left? Usually how one made the judgement in terms of the adjustment?
Many Thanks for any contribution.
