• Accident Damage from dealer 13 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  . However when the garage put the car on their 4-wheel alignment machine they found that the back was massively out. It turns out that the rear axle was 'bent'. The mechanic and I came to the conclusion that this must have happened at a different time (before I had the car). As I have only had the car 4
• Fiat Panda 1000 1990 9 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  if this is an MOT fail point? In the Haynes book it looks straight forward to replace with a spring compressor and ball joint splitter; is it so? What size ball joint splitter will I need? Will any of the alignments need resetting when it's reassembled? After 20+ years it's good to be doing something with cars
• Three cheers for Micheldever Tyre Services 19 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  , but the the best surprise was to find the prices to be nearly £40 per tyre less than my local Kwik Fit. I also had a comprehensive alignment check done for £18 and a camber correction done for a further £18. No wonder HJ keeps telling his readers about Micheldever. P.S. If you want to avoid a queue, 9.45 a.m

  . It has now failed permanently. It is a Portuguese car (and is still in Portugal) but I know from the Internet that this is a well known fault with Vauxhall Merivas. The garage has advised me that the steering column alignment has been adjusted but they believe
• Vauxhall Astra J - Steering feels light 9 Feb 2019 (Forum)
  or sliding however I do not feel comfortable driving the car when the steering is so light. Last week I had two brand new front tyres put on and the wheels aligned as I felt this may be causing the issue. However this has not fixed the problem and the steering feels just as light. Any ideas what
• 13 pin caravan plugs. 5 Jun 2017 (Forum)
  The original 13 pin plug on my caravan has failed. Corrosion mainly due to being exposed during winter storage. I have a new one from Sealey. Different assembly but have worked out the alignment it is now just the wiring. Not all the colours are the same as the wiring diagram, but I have the old
• All cars - MOT History Check 2 May 2017 (Forum)
  a lot, for example; an aquaitance with a local garage was offering me a pristine car with low mileage for a 10 year vehicle and a credible story but when I checked it out them mileage had gone down 16,000 miles the year before. On another car from a dealer the reasons for failing (headlights alignment

• Just when you think you've got a good 'un... 13 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  . A whine from the timing belt saw me back there today to have the tension reduced, and while he was under the bonnet he noticed the belt is riding off to the side again and the head has been off at some point. Something is out of alignment somewhere, I'm thinking the best option is just to run
• Ford Fiesta - Shock absorbers 4 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  which will hopefully solve my problem and they are an easy DIY fix. Anyway, I'm sure i saw on TV a few years ago about a garage that had a special ramp like they can do laser wheel alignment on (mine were 3mm out last tyre change btw) but it did a computer test of shock absorber efficiency per wheel

• Marks on a motorcycle swingarm 8 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  marks used to gauge chain adjustment on the swingarm accurate enough to set up the rear wheel alignment by? It seems ridiculous that the only satisfactory method of doing this, which is also used by the MOT man, is to stick a straight bit of wood or metal either side of the wheel and line it up by eye

• Foglights and xenons 3 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  on my next motor: a) they look really cool, and b) I'll stand a better chance of seeing where I'm going when ill-aligned xenons come the other way (and there seem to be quite a few these days).
• Just driven over a fence post at speed.. 16 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  the alignment / balance done cure the problem or have I damaged the structure of the tyre? Have I screwed up the wheel geometry and landed myself a big bill? The car is RWD with PAS, 205/60 tyres TIA Dorian.
• Xsara suspension problems 24 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  wheel alignment, the result was front wheels ok, but back wheels out: left rear 0.6mm (spec range 1.75 - 2.75mm) and right rear 0.1mm (same range). But they are none adjustable therefore will be like that for eva unless new parts fitted. Cant understand how this could happen? They said could be due
