johnm21 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hi I am putting a new tracker link bar to a 300tdi 90 does anybody know how long it should be set up to. I know the drop link is set to 924mm but i cannot find a length for the tracker bar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I would have thought given LR build tolerances that you won't get a definitive answer. I would use the string technique to rough in the tracking and then if necessary get it checked at a garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 To set it up properly you need to: 1) With the drag link removed make sure the steering wheel is centred, wind it from one lock to the other counting the turns, turn it half way back and if the steering wheel isn't in the straight ahead position, reposition it. reconnect the drag link. 2) Set the tracking up using the string method or have a garage set it up. 3) Adjust the drag link so that the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position when you are driving straight down an even road. There's no point in trying to set it to any specific length as every vehicle is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
