wheel alignment????

[lukeworx]

where do ppl get their alignments done?
around dublin if possible?
need camber castor & toe checked
been going around the local places & what a bunch of muppets
either get its "too low" or looked at like ive 2 heads,
i reckon the cars a mile off after been decked,
this could be a useful sticky thread also for anybody else in the same boat:confused:

if the car is too low. well then ya wont be able to do it lad.
ive had the same prob with mine on fri..
we'd to take off the front wings.:mad:
then ya can only set the tracking on the front and the camber.
wont let you do the caster
cause u need the machine set up on the back aswell

Im going to start supplying and fitting tires aswell as wheel alignment asap, i do all our own cars and have most of the equipment, except the turntables with gauges for doing caster!

But i can do you toe and camber for the moment if it suits ya??

sound man where excatly are ya?
just decked the car & pulled/flared the archs & camber on pass rear looks fair bit off,
do silly low offset wheels make a differece to your methods
just few places said to put standard wheels before they even touch it
(prob just an excuse not to do the job):D

If you put standard wheels on and track it, then put wheels with a different offset on, the tracking will be off again!!

Thats only on some laser based machines.

Camera bases machines like john bean etc are much more accurate and are not effected by different offsets.

They are designed to align the hubs to the required settings and therefor it doesn't matter which wheels are used, These are more widly used for racing are are much better for setting up cars with a full range of adjustments.

Ha nope! ok 2 on back 2 on front but otherwise your gonna loose your allignmeant

I set the tracking on the car myself mostly but then again road cars are completly different..
