When you say you had the camber checked and it was ''ok'' did the garage say that it was in the green for the settings? if so then the garage you took it to is using settings for the car that were applicable to it when it was new, not after many thousands of miles. When new the camber setting is 1"45min of camber , but should be set to compensate for spring settling and wear, so the new setting should be n the reigon of 1"10min of camber. Call Tony at WIM and he might be able to recommend so one up in the NE who can set it up properly.

Had the camber checked and its ok, but the tracking was out, am going back to the original place to get a refund.
Problem now is back to the original one, press the brakes and the car goes left, steering goes right !!
Changed: bottom wish arms (both), idler arm, off side brake caliper, nearside track rod end.
Had it on a rolling road and brakes ballanced altough the pull only seams to show when braking hard, think it maybe the nearside caliper (as its the only thing left to change !)
Anbody out there got one to sell ? :-X


define ok....
