Title: cruise control and camber on front wheels
Post by: dadangerman on December 10, 2012, 10:58:11 am

hi I am after having cruise control installed in my car. does anyone know someone near me who will do it and for how much? and a number?

and also about a month ago I drove up a curb and now have camber on front passenger wheel , (top of wheel sticks out more than bottom wheel)
not by a lot but enough to cause uneven wear on my tyres and show abit more tread of tyre from above view.
what do you think I have bent?

thanks in advance

Car: 2004 1.9 tdi (105) mk5

Where are you located for cruise?

I would just take it to a garage as it could be anything thats bent

Dealers should charge around £180 for cruise. However you will obviously get it a lot cheaper if someone local with the "know how" can do it.

I think your best bet would be to contact the 'people in the know' directly. I believe Squeeguk may be able to help, and i can vouch that his work is 100% top notch,. Eddie-NL is most likely the man for the job... But contact both  :happy2: Hope this helps!

Also... Get the camber looked at by a garage who can adjust the alighment. They may be able to tell you the problem
