What matters is the taper angle (0 45 90)? (complete camber / half and half / complete toe) However, since the pivot angle for the trailing arm is around 30 degrees, there will always be bump steer from the rear; Ford purposefully built it this way. This is also how the BMW Z axle works. In a PURE back axle, the rear wheels track inside the front wheels while turning, and the front wheels take a greater side load (due to the larger diameter circle they take), resulting in understeer in the limit (BAD). Having some rear steer due to roll (the inside wheel is lightly loaded and simply skids) evens out the side load and makes the car safer. Because they were built for a rear suspension with the trailing arm pivot across the vehicle and no rear roll steer, the cheap modified tiny dampers that became zimerides couldn't control the back end.

Is there a possible explanation for the failure?

Nothing more to say, but Johnny seems like an old-school mechanic rather than a new professional who would just replace a component and watch how it went rather than attempt a repair or fix.

Give us feedback on the RS tyres. Be significantly enhanced with a facelift. I did the same thing as you and replaced the back tyres first, but not long thereafter discovered that the front tyres also needed replacing.

To be honest, this has been completed countless times. There are many excellent tyres available; it depends on your needs. As stated, I like Uniroyal's, but others do not because they do not perform well over long distances; however, I don't travel far, so they suit me. I believe reviews are the way to go for smooth travel and fewer miles with Uniroyal tyres and so on.

Many people have switched from run-flat tyres to regular ones. All four of my tyres are Uniroyal rainsports. I now also carry a 12v pump and a plug kit.

If I'm not sure, I just change them for what it costs.

Have you replaced all of the hoover pipes? You seem to have a split in one or two of them.

Excellent article, Boostist! Two thumbs up! And for those who are curious, OBD is an abbreviation for "on board diagnostics":cool

Again, the awful black gunge. As Johnnie says, the only way to stop it from blocking is to turn off the tank.
