Wheel alignment specs

Post by Ralph in Winnipeg »

So I have searched the forum and I just want to be certain that the specs I'm bringing to the shop tomorrow are the right ones. There seems to be some different numbers.... This is for my 1994 Mitsubishi strada, K34T model, which I believe is the same as an L300 Delica. I cranked up the driver side torsion bar to level the front out and now I'm going to get an alignment done.

The specs and procedure I think are the ones are in section 33 of the manual I downloaded from

Could someone confirm that this is "the" one?

Thanks,

There's an L200/Strada front suspension workshop manual here: http://www.4x4community.co.za/forum/att ... 1265180784

It doesn't say what years of Strada it's for, but the illustrations look like about right.

I wouldn't assume that the wheel alignment specs are the same for an L300 just because they share the same suspension. Differences in wheelbase, track width, and weight distribution can necessitate changes in the alignment.
Nothing says "poor workmanship" more than wrinkles in the duct tape.

Thanks Growler! You're right, the torsion bar adjustment on the L200 looks like my 94 Strada. The shop did not do the alignment. ....the wheels bearings were loose so they tightened those and the idler arm is shot. Ordered a new idler arm from partsouq yesterday. I really like partsouq so far. Ordered the timing belt and tensioner pulleys for the Townace last week, arrived in 5 days. Their site is pretty easy to use and all the parts diagrams are lovely. DHL certainly has their act together as well.

Thanks again!
