    wheel alignment

    Hello
    I got to get this done again and hopefully get it done properly.
    I have been quoted £250+vat for four wheel alignment at local stealer I think this is bit expensive especially I had it done twice at £ 40 per go not long ago.
    My car still fills like boat very hard to keep it in strait line coming out of corner at high speed, it can not be tyres or suspension, I am getting very desperate to get this fixed.
    I am looking for someone who could help me, I don’t mind travelling, any recommendations.


    Thanks in advance.

    Ps. Is QRS doing 4 wheel alignment??, if yes I could get top mounts fitted at the same time, although I had the blue ones fitted 4 months ago they still got to be OK :mischeif:

      Mine is being done next wednesday at my local dealer, i have heard that this is about the only good thing that they can do there so im gonna trust them I will be taking the wastegate cap off so they cant take it for a thrash. NO BOOST!! LMAO

      The insurnace company are paying for this as part of the recent claim where a saxo driver hit the rear quarter panel. Since then the rear tyres have been scrubbing.

        Never thought of that, whenever i've left mine at a garage i disconnected the wgfv, but it will still hit 1bar.

          I payed £94 at an Audi specialist and they screwed it up, so I'm having to go and get it done somewhere else. They have been recommended by another S2 owner and they charge £80. Didn't think of a Dealer

                    Is there anywhere near Brissol, apart from Dialynx, that are worth talking to?

                        Surely the WG diaphragm will get pushed up by the WG valve and perhaps torn if there is no cap to keep it in place. Maybe better to disconnect the WGFV and fit a stock spring for this purpose...

                          Can anyone suggest a place for 4-wheel alignment in Richmond/Twickenham area?
                          I'm having a big lot of suspension bush work done and having recently had the top mounts done as well, I just wonder if it's worth checking the alignment as well?

                              hey robo,
                              u could try goodwins in goodmayes / essex - they are quite reputable for four wheel drive tracking - from memory they charge about 80quid though (not heard of four wheel tracking for less then that TBH) havnt got their details with me.

                              Seems there are few peeps getting it done for about 40quid in london. Any details muchos appreciated.

                              thanx
