Whiteline Anti Lift Kit
sub39h:
had my WALK fitted along with an Autotech rear ARB today. had a 4 wheel alignment done at the same time
now the car is pulling to the left? i had them fitted by Midland VW, so a tried, tested and trusted set of blokes. they had it on the tracker 3 or 4 times and couldn't get it to steer straight. is this normal? Jody (gaffer at Midland VW) seems to think once the bushes have softened a bit it'll sort itself, but i bought the kit 2nd hand with 3k miles on it :confused:

Thats a lot of cobblers. You should be able to get it aligned and it should drive true!

I had my 4 wheel alignment done at a reputable tuning shop on the hunters machine and mine pulled like hell to the left even though the print out looked perfect afterwards so a few days later had them re check it and they adjusted it.
They had just had the machine re calibrated which they say had something to do with it but now it's good and the print out looks very good.
A thing you will notice with the stiffer bushes on the WALK is it will want to follow imperfections in the road more as there is less slop in the suspension now.
I would give it a few days or take it for a decent drive and get them to do it again once bedded in. The 2 print outs I got (maybe 200miles. Between the 2 alignments) were very different.

Also how do you find the rear sway bar? I want a whiteline adjustable one but don't want the back end to be too loose. Does it feel like the back end wants to come round more?
sub39h:
i don't have the alignment print out but Jody's said they've put it as close to the border of factory tolerance to get it straight? i would have thought any product that made the car pull to the left would never be as popular as the WALK is, but i'm not local to Midland VW i just happened to be in the area for a day, i trust them and they were cheaper than another well known VAG specialist i live close to so i had them do it. BUT now taking it back to them is a problem because they're quite far away
no the car is VERY neutral now. i lose my nerve before it wants to understeer, and it does not at all feel like it's gonna oversteer even slightly
