Odo: 15,907 miles
Took the Jaguar for a wheel alignment today. The steering was twitchy and the tyres squealed in faster corners.
The folk at Lithgow Tyre Service did a great job. They have been great to deal with, did a great job on our Holden SS recently.
Apparently the toe adjustment was miles out, -8.9 mm instead of the required 4 mm. -13 mm out! No wonder the steering was acting up.
She steers beautifully now, a bit of free play in the system as can be expected for a 60 year old vehicle, but the overall improvement is great.
I have to pop the steering wheel off the shaft and correct the straight ahead position. I will do this along with fixing the manette control (see separate post).
This blog follows the day to day maintenance of our 1954 Jaguar Mark VII Saloon.
Really a nice post.. very informative. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteThat's some sick wheel alignment! Glad that your car is doing better after the alignment. I want to share a company that provide my overall auto care needs. "VP Autocare". They have great mechanical servicing, with expertise in tyre services, as well as dyno tuning. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteAmazing post, I want to share my experience of wheel alignment service. In the previous month, I was searching for a Wheel Alignment Shop in Winnipeg. And then I found a shop called "Winter's Auto Service". Trust me, I am very satisfied with their services. They provide quality services at a reasonable price. They do awesome work and treat your car with care. I recommend Winter's to anyone else who wants quality work...". You will never regret it.
