Today, the tractor went into Wheel-InMotion for a new set of boots, and the full WIM geometry treatment.
We all know that Wheels-InMotion have built up a deserved reputation for doing an excellent job, hence why it was worth the 3hr round trip to Chesham.
The result? Transformation

. As regular followers of the tractor saga know, its not shy in being a bit tail happy, which is probably part of the reason the rear tyres lasted 4k (OSR) and 7k (NSR). The other part of the reason was rear geometry was significantly out.
Now, she travels at speed without constantly fighting a wander and a constant pull

. And the vibrations have disappeared for the first time since I've had the car (most likely rear wheel balancing). She also goes around roundabouts with the rear end stubbornly following the front, rather than overtaking the front - not as much fun, but I can carry better speed now.
Now WIM are officially open for business at their new centre, if you need geometry, book it in. Remember to mention Omega Owners for a fixed £85 charge

If you think your car just needs tracking, think again - the tractor has obviously had tracking done at some point, but never had the root cause of wear/handling fixed (the rear was out). 4 wheel alignment doesn't ensure your rear is straight, only that rear wheels follow front.
