Default Can someone please check these geometry settings

Hi Guys.

Would just like someone to check my geometry settings out if possible.

2005 Widetrack STi.

Had 4 new tyres put on and had the car put on the Hunter Alignment system.

Car just doesn't feel right though.

Once you hit the throttle and give it some beans and lift off the back end fishtails all the time quite badly if I'm honest.

Its even more prominent now these settings have been applied.



Apologies for the orientation of the picture. Can't get it to rotate for some reason.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Have to say, that looks a sloppy set-up.

The biggest issue is the front camber, and secondly is the toe. Three are toeing out, and one slightly in. It's all just too vague and not focussed and needs tidying up with decent camber dialling in along with a little toe-in all round

What do you use your car for? Weekend blasts, daily, track?

This thread has lots of good alignment info

Yeah sloppy sums it up perfectly.

Car is a weekender for blasts etc.

Doesn't get used throughout the week.

In that case, a set-up with more aggressive numbers would probably suit you better - upwards of 1.5° camber all round, and a few minutes of toe-in... and equal too!

look at my geo charts in the thread I linked. The tech who does my settings takes a bit a pride. He gets each side very nearly identical. It really does make a difference

I would either take your back or go somewhere else for a proper job
