have a search Mick, this has been done to death on here. Depends what problems your having, if you have uneven or excessive tire wear, tram lining or pulling, drifting off to the left or stearing wheel out of line then yes, all roads lead to wheels in motion in Chesham, a bit of a drive for you, for a full geometry set up! Dont even bother with tracking. Complete waste of time as its only a fraction of the problem.

But when you have 11.5 mm of toe out, quite a large fraction!

Have a search on the forum Mick. And check out Wheels In Motion's website here:
Clicky

FYI, Wheels In Motion are usually referred to as WIM on here...

Only door to go through at vx is the parts door. Dont let them actually touch your car. As you live in nottingham any work should be done by Mark dtm where ever possible. Shame not to use him if you live so close, have a search, its a bit fussy but should bring up something... :-)
