My Cagiva Moke has been scrubbing out tyres. I had thought the tracking had been adjusted but today the tyre dealer said he had not got the details he needs to check/set it.
It has always been rather a black art to me, does anyone have details I can give him?
Thanks.

Re: Tracking
Google mokewerx and go to the tab "in the garage" there is a very good description, and the measurements.

Re: Tracking
Realistically, the moke has exactly the same running gear as it's contemporary mini. The set up data would be the same and any tyre fitter/garage that doesn't know what the specs for a classic mini are needs to be kept well clear of!!
Come on summer

Re: Tracking
Thanks both, there is a lot of good reading in that MokeWerx site.
I suppose I can't blame the guy for being 'over cautious' the wheelbase does look wider than a mini.

Re: Tracking
how wide the vehicle is has no effect on tracking - all that does is check toe in and toe out.
You really need a 4 wheel alignment that checks caster/camber etc. and as said if the guy does not know then you are best going somewhere else.
