Wheel Alignment Data for i10

Team - would appreciate if anyone has the wheel alignment data for the i10. I have league 13" alloys and michelin 175s on the car.

Am not sure if it it's in my mind but i feel there is some issue with the wheel alignment and want to get it rectified. I had recently got my second service done and had also got the wheel alignment done at advaith service centre, but somehow not happy with the outcome.

Appreciate your help in this.

@ NFS did Advaith Hyundai get the wheel alignment done for your car, running on Alloys during the free service ??. I got my i10 serviced at Trident Hyundai, Jakkasandra but they refused to do the alignment saying they don't have the right equipments to do the alignment as i had alloys on my car..

EDIT 2: For i10, these are the readings.

Front:

Camber: -0deg 00'. Tolerance of +- 0deg 30'

Caster: 2deg 40'. Tolerance of : +-0deg 30'

Total Toe: 0deg 00' +- 0deg 20'

Rear:


Camber: -1deg 00'. Tolerance of +-0deg 30'

Total Toe: -0deg 40' . Tolerance of +-0 deg 20'


EDIT: Sorry. The following readings are for i20. Will correct it with readings for i10 soon enough.
Front:

Camber: -0deg 30'. Tolerance of +- 0deg 30'

Caster: 3deg 30'. Tolerance of : +- 0deg 30'

Total Toe: 0deg 0' tolerance of +-0deg 20'

Rear:


Camber: -1deg 30'. Tolerance of +-0deg 30'

Total Toe: -0deg 40' . Tolerance of +-0deg 20'

@Jango --- That is bullshit actually. If they have an alignment machine, they can do it irrespective of the wheels.

Jango, dont push them. If they dont want to do alignment on your car, good for you. Go to some other place where the people are keen to do more for you. They are the ones losing your business. Go somewhere else.

Yes advaith did the wheel alignment for the car inspite of knowing that i was running on Alloys. Am not sure the kind of equipment advaith has in their sarjapur service centre.

Nikhil - i also checked at advaith JP nagar centre in blr. The service advisor said that they have a sensor based wheel alignment machine and it is not appropriate for Alloy wheels.

He advised that i should get the alignment done on a machine which does it manually and that is the correct way to get the alloys aligned.

Planning to check out at Vijay wheel alignment center.

Well, it's better for you that you dont get it done there. Maybe they are using the wrong wheel adapters or maybe some really old equipment.

Same way, I dont think Vijai can help you. They use equipment from the 1970s!
