Tell them what settings you need,  make sure you un-seize all the rear adjusters, and fit new track-rods to the front, if you want to go all out, new rear do-nuts and front top mounts.

Thanks Big Griffin 100 mile round trip though for me hoping to find someone closer if I do take the plunge, never had much faith in the local mob of kwik fitters and the like.

A 100 mile trip in an omega is just a stroll, take the wife and drop her at the shopping centre. :y

That is true Big G, but after a lifetime of motorway work I try my hardest to keep miles to a minimum these days. If I feel like having a drive (which is rare these days, a bit like lots of things at my age  ::)  ) I take other more sporty options out of the garage  :D

The key with the Omega is *NOT* to use the official GM figures for front camber, as that *WILL* knacker your front tyres very, very quickly, on the inner shoulder.  The GM figures are too aggressive on camber, and also too wide.

Obviously, all alignment centres use the GM figures.

A member here - wheels-inmotion - calculated the correct figures to us.  I'm against publishing his figures, as he runs an alignment business, and his time and hard work is up to him to give away.  But if you search around the forum, I'm sure you can find it.  Or ask him on his own forum at https://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/forum/index.php
