United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 i6 HSE Auto Stornoway Grey

Every hunter alignment (or other) I’ve had done they have given a before and after report stapled together, that way you know what was “off” in the first place. Regards

Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

Actually looking at the report, the 1st number I think is the starting value, with a down arrow to the new value. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues
2019 DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental
Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎
Couldn’t afford the fuel bills so back to an older Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Significantly better than I remembered it to be…

United Kingdom 2012 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Firenze Red

Are the small figures (some of which are in red) above the main figures the before readings? You should always have the before and after setting so that you know what adjustments were made and that they are now within the tolerances allowed for your particular vehicle.
( as just posted!)

I just noticed that on the report it says Freelander ED4, which is the 2-wheel drive version, I think this would have different wheel alignment.

United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 SD4 Metropolis LE Auto Fuji White

Please can someone interpret the report into the same layout as Alex's figures.

To me it does not look that the settings are right, look at the toe-in.

Or have I got it wrong? FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 77k+ miles) (MY2015)
Metro in its 11th Year of (Extended) LR Warranty / Full LR Service History
(Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?)

Wales 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Firenze Red

When I had mine done the chap had to put in a lot of data from drop-down lists maybe they clicked on wrong model , well worth a call. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

On the specs Alex provided a few posts ago it says “all derivatives” now whether this means in every country I have no idea, but could be 2WD and 4WD are the same? Regards

Well after a few days of driving and some more googling, it *might* not be pulling to the left.

I had assumed road camber would have a part to play but found a post somewhere that said, if you can, straddle the middle of the road and see how the car runs. And the answer was pretty much in a straight line.

There's still a bit of vibration in the steering wheel if I loosen the grip when going about 65-70mph. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

Hi

The 2014 model owners handbook on Topix gives the following data, which is the same as Alex's but in a simpler format.

That could also be from a slightly worn constant velocity joint.

Well, drove from Edinburgh to Cornwall. I don't think there is any noticeable pull - it just seems to be camber related.

Definitely a vibration through the steering wheel and to a degree the car. Only felt upwards of 60mph. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues
