gday so the reason i didnt want to go to a wheel alignment place is because i like to try to do things myself in the true bedford spirit! thats why we have the old beasts right?!
so i realised what i was doing wrong and i didnt have the van on flat ground when doing certain measurements...
so i looked at a few youtube clips of diy wheel alignments and got it sussed
so you run two string lines down the length of the van parrallel with the rear wheels and then adjust the fronts a couple of mm toe in from that when the van is on level ground...
pretty straight forward really...
i just did a 1600km round trip and it was all good. still a little jumpy over bumps etc probably coz i spun the tyres but its all good, makes it fun to drive!!
will get new front tyres soon tho theyre about done.
take it easy...

gday guys,
its been a while since ive posted anything ive had the van off the road for a few years and only recently had it back on the road...
a while ago i got a wheel alignment done, took it straight home and took the wheels off and clamped two levels to the disks...
i measuresd the distance at the disks, and then 1m out from the disks. they were exactly 30mm toe in at 1m...
now after driving it for a while since ive had it back on the road ive noticed the tyres are wearing on the inside of both of them... when the wheels are on the ground and i put the levels across the tyres, (not as accurate but pretty close!) it says that they are toeing out by 15mm...
thinking that this is why my tyres are wearing on the inside i just adjusted it up so that it was running parrallel when on the ground... i have also had the tyres spun on the rims to even out the wear..
now it wanders over the road a bit and the wheel shakes a little which it never used to do..
i think the wandering could be coz i spun the tyres but not sure on the shaking... and yes ive had the wheels balanced...
now im thinking of just getting the wheels up in the air and going back to to 30mm toe in at 1m like it was? just about to go on a big trip up the coast so want to get it sorted before i go.
any help and thoughts would be appreciated im sure someone out there knows?!
thanks in advance... westy

G'day I'll be keen for a set too please!
My block of wood works great! (doubles as a gas filler jam opener!) but would love the doors to stay open on their own...
Cheers westy

G'day petrol head I would dispute that u can get better fuel economy on straight gas, ive never heard of anyone getting better economy from gas? my van runs straight gas, I've had the heads done, not sure how much difference a cam would make, but I've had my van tuned as lean as I can get it for the best economy and it still chews the juice big time I get around 20L/100kms.... I'm thinking of putting a petrol tank back in it to turn it to duel fuel, should increase my range heaps and eliminate the anxiety of running out of gas! Would love to know any secrets to getting better fuel economy for gas? Always an issue for me! Take it easy
