Pajero wheel alignment after to 2 inch lift

[Andrew John Melvill]

Hi

I have recently fitted a Dobinsons IMS lift kit. I had the alignment done. But have noticed by "eye" that the passenger rear wheel is at a different alignment to the drivers side. I will be taking the car back to the shop to have it checked. But if any of you have an idea of what the alignment settings should be for the Paj after a lift, it would be appreciated. 

Did an FB+ drive after the alignment was done, so not sure if something moved it out of alignment on the drive or if the two rear wheels were not set up the same way. 

The alignment shop came recommended and Looper's jeep was in the same shop when I had the alignment done, so hopefully a good one. 

Thanks

I'm yet to get a proper alignment from an off-road shop 

I visited laser alignment and tyre centre and they got it setup properly on the machine and got it corrected where 3 other shops had failed.

Hi Luke

Used a workshop with proper laser alignment equipment. And one that came recommended by a Pajero specialist workshop. Seemed all OK when I left but on Monday after the Sunday drive as I walked up to the car in the morning my eye caught an angle that did not look right. Have checked the car in different lighting and still get the same difference. Maybe just too much time in construction, always looking for snags!

But will get it checked out on Saturday morning.

Hi Andrew, could you please DM me the alignment shop? I have done some steering work but haven't done the alignment 😅

what shops are you guys going to... damn. First of all that somebody did a 2" lift and NOT alignment and let you out to the street to drive like that is criminal. Pajero after even 1" looks comical and needs adjustment on both axles. Luckily, there is PLENTY of room for adjustment on this car and a proper alignment is pretty easy to achieve, so it does not require a PhD to do it.

Second: there are plenty of shops that understand the need to do custom alignment and will work to make it right (but it won't cost 100AED like on those lazy places that do it because they want to take you on a ride every time you change tires or buy windscreen wipers - you know which ones I am talking about...). I understand that we can't point out places here due to internal rules (and even local laws), but sometimes it's just... necessary.

Hi, the installation shop did the alignment, but I took it to a highly recommended alignment specialist the very next morning as a belt and braces approach. It drove fantastically both off road and on road, and still does. But my OCD has convinced me that it needs another check.
