XR rear wheel alignment?

[sednwol]

A guy at tyrepower told me that not only does the XR series need a front wheel alignment but also a rear wheel one? This guy must be having me on. Ever heard of such a thing?

Is it an IRS XR? Then maybe so.
For regular live axle rwd cars, a 'thrust' alignment is the go, you can't change anything in the rear but you just take it into account as such.

I wouldnt be going back there - sounds like a money grab to me.

All XRs (sedans) have IRS and therefore DO need rear wheel alignment.

You're lucky you've found someone who knows someting about AUs - go back to him and have the job done.

All VCT 6 XR's and XR8's have IRS. XR6 HP is live axle.

Hmm why did I think it was a ute in question?

Had mine done a couple of weeks ago. Now tracks straight, doesn't prefer left turns to right ones, and pulls up in a straight line under brakes, and doesn't want to change lanes each time it hits a bump. My front was actually OK - it was the rear that was way out!

You just think everything's a ute. And that darkish grey Hondas are silver, LOL.

I'll 2nd that, I had my first rear wheel alignment done not long after purchase, it was mile out from new, scrubbing the rears. I always have a complete 4 wheel alignment done.

Thanks ... my bad ... I always forget the HP. I suppose right from Day 1 I've actually never seen a reason to have an XR with anything less than a VCT 6 and therefore my mind has subconsciously blocked them out.

I class XR6 HP as a bodykitted basemodel........ ala BA XR6

i always get a 4 wheel alignment. every 10k
