How Do You Zero The Hicas For W/a

[ellie]

As the title reads! Read in an old thread that Sydneykid emphasized that the HICAS must be zeroed before an alignment and I wanted to know how exactly that is achieved?

Yeah - Im thinking of removing my HICAS. Dont know if many shops would know the procedure and Im overdue for a wheel alignment so Im going to turf it. Dont want to pay for the wheel alignment twice...

you can enter diagnostic mode to make sure it all works, but otherwise HICAS is either

a. self centering, or

b. stuffed

It's available with a search. Should be centred when you drive on the alignment machine.

I only asked because I was reading a thread and Sydney Kid said that it was crucial to center the hicas before a wheel alignment so I thought i'd pose the question but he's a busy man and sick to death of hicas questions. So i'll live with not knowing

Cheers for you posts

interesting!

I'd just get in there and remove HICAS all together, and get a lockbar off GTRGeoff!

Much better drive without it!

Top answer Liz!

I've asked wether people found the car to have better drivability before or after a lock bar without anyone actually giving me a definite answer. I Know that 4WS can significantly reduce a lap time if it works correctly but I'm starting to get the shits with wondering when it will go haywire and fighting it when it does!

So Agreed, Hicas will become aquanted with the bin!

BTW, What differences did you notice after removing? it because when it works, I can really feel it. Which is why I was reluctant to get rid of it if it was only a set up issue.
