wheel alignment and camber
« on: 09 October 2011, 15:16:06 »
2.2 auto CD lpg/petrol
Can anyone recommend somewhere I can get wheel aligment and camber done?  It's hard enough finding somewhere to do proper 4 wheel alignment and then they tell you that the camber cant be done! Jeeeez

I had my camber done after replacing the front shocks at Buckley tyres so not too far from you.... If memory serves me right i think it was £60..

After re-reading your post ive just realised the price I gave was for the front alone and not 4 wheels...

One of the mech's (Dave) at Buckley is good, and knows omegas quite well.  Adjusts the settings, and will happily set to what you request.
another doesnt and will only go 'in the green' which is useless.

However, for a far better, top quality experience, get to Nigel Langs in Bolton, who wont rest until the car is set up perfectly, even adjusting the subframe when required.

No worries, have you got settings you want them to go to, or trusting it to them?

they will.....but the ranges are too wide to be useful
the critical one to avoid bad tyre wear is front camber needs to be -1deg 10'
