Title: 18" wheels and alignment
Post by: Black9 on December 29, 2011, 07:27:37 pm

Does anyone else with 18" wheels or 17"s for that matter find the alignment is easily knocked out!? Need mines done again for the 4th time this year so far, at £50 a pop its not cheap!

i think its a bit of a money spinner for the garages

had mine done at the cost of £72 then wasn't happy with it (pulled to the left) so took it to the same place a few days later and the readings were totally different to my first print out

i think it depends who is operating the machine more than anything

I'm referring to the alignment being knocked out as opposed to the garages who carry out wheel geo, been taking mine to CLCM Edinburgh. Older guy and knows what he's doing.

Driving Edinburgh balloch tonight but can't use my golf coz of geo, need to use the aygo instead :signLOL:
