Thought all places did laser tracking now  :undecided:

If you want proper tracking done though find a place that does 4 wheel alignment - they will adjust camber and toe if its all out

Cost is approx £50 but it can make a big improvement to your handling :afro:

i didnt relise that you were able to do all 4, i will look into that (im guessing 17.99 will just be for the front wheels?)

Yeah my local place wanted 9.99 for traditional and 17.99 for lazor (i guess lazor it is?)

Only the fronts unless its a 4mo and R32 but they will check that your rear wheels are in line as well as a chassis alignment check

Have a look at my project thread and you'll see what was adjusted on mine  :smiley:

Fronts only is a waste of time on a modern car.
