Title: Am i being dim?
Post by: jonathonturner on 04 February 2008, 14:12

i had my ultrac sesanta's fitted to my car, nad first long drive i have noticed the steering wheel now sits off centre.

it doesnt pull either way, it drives true, but the wheel is out of line and annoying me...

i work in blackpool so i dropped it off at the main dealer and they have rung me and said all four wheels need aligning and its 170 quid?

Take it back to whoever fitted them and ask them what the f**k their playing at.

170 quid? Are they going to put argon in the tyres and diamond encrusted valve caps?!

Something has happened for the alignment to now be out, get it looked at..... for a more sensible price! 16 quid at the place I use.
