MG Car Repair: Wheel alignment MG Midget, wheel alignment, correct alignment


Question
We are rebuilding a 72 Midget, and would like to know the correct alignment of the front and rear wheels. Thank in advance.

Answer
Hi Manuel.  The Midget has a solid rear axle, so there is no adjustment possible to the rear wheels.  

At the front, the only adjustment is the alignment of the steering.  This should be between zero and 1/8 of an inch toe-in (0 TO 3.2 mm).  You can measure the camber and caster angles (+3/4 of a degree and +3 degrees) but these are not adjustable.
