I used a local tyre place called northway tyres in watford not sure if they have other branches though. Mk2 golfs only have single side adjusters apparently so not everywhere can do it!

Post by: gti jim on 05 June 2006, 17:11: yes and single side adjustment means the steering wheel will likely be p!ssed to one side after adjustment.

be a good idea to check out the track rod end whilst you're there..

i think there is somewhere in farnham which does a check on the camber as well as tracking but i'm not sure of the name.. :undecided:
