Whats the average cost of having both the above done at same time guys?

[TheBoy]

Probably IRO £40-£90 depending whats off.

Jimbob can probably advise who is best in that area - don't just use anyone, as they have to understand the equipment and how an Omega acts. Simply "setting it to green" isn't good enough, it'll be miles out.

I'd expect him to say Nigel Langs, or somewhere like that...

hardly local to me though..... Bolton isnt he?

[vauxsull]

spoken to jimbob and he tells me there are various settings i can ask for when doing the camber adjustment?   can anyone give me an example of a few please?.... its a saloon if that makes a difference?

Front camber should be -1.10 (minus one degree and ten minutes) with error of +/- .10 mins.

If lowered, sports suspension, driven hard, or shows outside shoulder wear from cornering then you "may" want to increase to -1.20, but this is rare.

Normal car up set and driving, especially if alot of motorway driving, then 1.10 is what you want.
Rear is a compromise on camber as the toe is affected as well, so go with the best average they can achieve. But do not allow them to get away with not adjusting the rear, if the rear track rods are seized or stiff. Get them to remove them and unseize if necessary, as if the rear is out, it can steer the rear out of line with the front and the steering wheel will not be straight, no matter how straight the front set up figures suggest.
