Hopefully they'll be doing a full alignment to OOF spec, rather than the tracking...  :D

Bollix.

They didn't even undo the nuts.

That's to say, the numbers are unchanged from the 'before' list so clearly they're talking Bollix, not you ;)

rubbish. There's easily 6° of adjustment just by loosening the strut to hub nuts and prying on the wheel.


Those figures of 1°28 will wear the inner tyre edges and make the steering really nervous. It should be more like 1°10.
