Quick Tracking Query Fiesta - Steveo4869
Hello,
Just a quick question. I've just replaced the steering rack on my 1.6 fiesta H reg. Can anyone tell me an effective way of resetting the correct tracking without any specialist equipment just to get me to my local kwik fit where they can do it accurately for me.
Many Thanks
Steveo

In the "olden days" we used to use two pieces of wood, each about 3 foot long side by side. Place these on the inside rear half way up the front wheels & draw a straight line across the two pieces. Use the same two lengths of wood on the inside front of the front wheels again half way up & adjust the tracking until the line is re-aligned with each other.
This is absolutely a "get me home" temp and only to get you to a appropriate specialist.
