  . Electric diagnostic 6. Wheel alignment 7. Two new front tyres   Now, it turns out the front tyres had worn out as a result of tow-out camber. I saw them - they were indeed almost bald along one side. It was a high mileage car when we bought it used at just one year old

  wheel was no longer straight ahead, not far off but decided to have it tracked.  The fast fit centre found that the wheel alignement was so far out it was off their guage and did not want to touch it.  Looking at the car now it appears toed out. Their only comment was that there are two

• Ford Fiesta (1989 - 1995) - 1996 1.1 steering UJ replacement 28 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  Just replaced the lower UJ on a Fiesta 'classic'. Now as I steer, I feel a slight jump where the two UJs seem to not have enough room to turn. The inner steering shaft moves up against the bearing spring a couple of mm inside the column. Do the two UJs need to be in any specific alignment to each
• Passat Tyre Wear 1 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  I've just had my front Michelin Pilot Primacy tyres, 195- 65 X 15V replaced after 13000 miles. So the full suspension alignment check did not make a big difference to the life- apart from the wear being absolutely even across the tread. Trying a pair of ATS own tyres Euromasters. So I guess

  I have a 2015 Mazda 5 estate riding on 225/45 R19 tyres. Recently I've noticed what seems like excessive tyre noise and vibration and am wondering if alignment/tracking will help with this. I have had a few bumps against high pavements as well as driving through some poor quality roads
• Hyundai i10 - Clutch noise 27 Nov 2020 (Forum)

  After 10,000 miles and 1 year from brand new my rear tyres are wearing much more heavily than the front tyres and the LHR is nearly down to the limit indicator.  Had an independant 4 wheel laser wheel alignment check done and it showed the rear wheels out of spec. Both the main
• Yaris 02 - Kerbed: play in steering 6 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  the steering wheel. There are no noises from the steering when turning, so it's not wheel bearings or anything like that. Is it just a matter of getting the tracking/wheel alignment fixed? I guess Kwik-Fit or similar would do this?
