  • o/s/r/ toe in setting for Volvo 340 16 Dec 2001 (Forum)
    IS there any way to correct the toe in setting for the o/s/r tyre, it looks as though it is pointing in too far, confirmed by a 4-wheel alignment system. It makes the car pull to the left slightly, as well as wearing out the rear right tyre more quickly than the others Cheers, Andy
  • chevrolet cruze Hatchback - Car pulling left all the time. 5 Feb 2016 (Forum)
    )   Had multiple Alignments done, the last one was with a very highly recommended guy who told me the geometry of the car is fine and there is no reason that the car should be pulling left.   He then told me it must be the tires causing the pull.... he seemed certain

    the ABS to chatter. The car sometimes feels as if it is crabbing. The near-side anti-roll bar drop link was replaced about 18 months ago. When I had the tracking checked the tyre dealer used 4-wheel alignment using a laser jig. I have seen another system that measures camber, etc and provides

    - headlight pushed well out of alignment, upwards and inwards - scuffed alloy Picked the car up from the bodyshop today, and noticed that the alignment of bumper/wing/headlight is very poor - noticable gaps (3-5mm) compared with the other side (which was all renewed after the first accident 8 wks ago
  • Front tyre wear Mondeo mk2 8 Mar 2007 (Forum)
    -3 psi under the recommended pressures. The car is not driven particularly hard, and most of its mileage is on motorways. I had a four wheel alignment check/adjustment done when the Falkens were fitted and the printout showed everything to be within factory tolerances. That was 20k ago though
  • Leon TDI - NSF Tyre Wear 2 Jan 2005 (Forum)
    before the other tyres on the car. The rear tyres wear evenly, as does the front drivers side. Currenly on Dunlop SP Sport 01's, previously on Pirelli P6000, Eagle NCT's, B F Goodrich Touring and Yokohama A301, all of which were correctly balanced and aligned, but wore in the same way. The steering
  • Volvo XC90 - Rear Shocker ! 4 Nov 2011 (Forum)
    Just found out we need new rear shock absorbers for our 2007 XC 90 (75,000 miles). Volvo are asking £884.40 for the parts and £110 labour. Given this is an important job, is this a fair price to pay? And, having just had a 4 x wheel alignment last month, due new tyres
  • Ford Fiesta (2000 - 2002) - 01 1.3 New tyres 19 Jun 2008 (Forum)
    Hi I've decided to get 4 new continental eco contact 3 tyres fitted as the ones I currently have on are worn. Is £180 for fitting balancing etc including VAT a good price for these? I'm impressed with the reviews of these tyres. Getting a family friend to do the alignment at a later date. Thanks

    Anyone know how to remove one, or more to the point where the fixing screws/bolts are? I hit a rabbit a while ago and ever since then the bumper has been slightly out of alignment with the nearside wing and also a bit wobbly. I'm might selling the car shortly and don't really want to go
  • steering wheel not dead centre 7 Mar 2003 (Forum)
    Iv'e just had the front wheel alignment adjusted on my car and the steering wheel is a little bit off centre, not very much and I could live with it. I understand that this often happens and it's just a bit annoying, but is it ok and not a sign of the tracking or anything not been done correctly

    I need to get a full four wheel alignment,inc the camber and castor etc, done on my old Jetta 16v, as I have fitted some lowered springs. Does anyone here know of anywhere in south east London or Kent that could do this for me? I dont really want to drive all the way to Micheldever tyres. Ben.
  • BMW 3 Series - BMW 320d front outer edge tyre wear? 30 Oct 2022 (Forum)
    The front outer edge of the tyres on my BMW 320d are wearing. All other tyres are in good condition. The front are also in good condition it's only the outer edge of them that has worn. I've heard that this might be caused by wheel alignment. BMW use KDS but can this be sorted using Hunter?
  • Honda Jazz - How much does a garage charge to swap tyres? 4 Sep 2019 (Forum)

    At slow speed and more or less stopped steering wheel pulses from side to side. Wheel alignment etc seems OK. Perhaps this is a power steering problem? Any ideas or experience with this problem. Car is a 95 XSI with 170000km. Otherwise runs fine.

    Hi there, second post this week!! My scenic is causing me more problems, YET AGAIN!!! My N/S tyre is scrubbing on the outside edge, i'm guessing that there is a suspension mis-alignment, probably caused by me hitting a badger the other week. I was just wondering, is the camber angle adjustable
  • Attempted break-in 30 Oct 2006 (Forum)
    Noticed the car was a bit noisy last week , like the door wasn't shut properly. On closer inspection, I found the front passenger door way out of alignment and a number of marks in the paint where someone had obviously tried to lever open the door at the top . Is this a tried and tested way

    Now that the new tax year has started, i hope that my local District Council will find it within themselves to authorise PROPER repair to 12 miles of A417 east of Cirencester.
