    Tracking

    My tracking is miles out. The white finger in my hands and tennis elbow I get from holding the wheel between 55-65mph sort of tells me that. Plus, the tyres aren't very healthy on the inside either.

    The wheel alignment has been done about 4 times - the garage says it's spot on, so it has to be all that camber malarky that needs sorting. Plus, when you centre the wheel the driver side wheel points out whilst the other one points straight - not by much, but it does.

    I'm in Leeds. Anywhere I can trust to get it done up here? (D Underwood... hmmm, after the last time I used him... well, hmmmm...) I'm going to Combe this w/end - anywhere down there?

    Greg? Is that something you could have a look at in return for a bit o pocket money?

    Sorting tracking has to be cheaper than new tyres I think...

    Paul,

    Best bet is to give the garage a call mate, Ian at the garage did mine for me and gave him a hand doing it. Took a while to do it so might be able to arrange for him to do yours en route to coombe?

      You could book your motor into EARS (Escort and Rally Spares) in Macclesfield as they seem to be fineand do camber as well as the normal alignment. The kit is run by Central Tyre, details below.

      Central Tyre. The Wharf, Buxton Road, Macclesfield, Cheshire SK10 1LZ T: 016250-610666
      they are very close to the exhaust company. you could get your brackets modified at the same time as well at Steve's.
