Do rear tracking changes on a car with ESP need sensor recalibration?
« on: 15 July 2011, 05:34:57 PM »
After reading sgould's post on the TurboX tracking http://www.saabtechtalk.com/forum/index.php/topic,309.0.html I'm wondering if this also applies to the 9-5 with ESP?

When I had four new tyres fitted to the estate, they minimised the rear toe to reduce wear on the inner edge. (Not happy about throwing away Vredesteins with 5mm of tread!) Since then it has occasionally felt like it was braking a wheel when moving off with plenty of lock.

Of course, this may be something on the ABS ring, but I've not noticed it any other time, such as when slowing to a stop.

9-5 only says it needs calibration if the front end geometry is messed with.
