place in Belfast. give you a print out of the car before hand and then after. obviously there aint any adjustment that can be made to the rear but at least i was able to get the thrust angle of the car measured to make sure the rear axle is straight!!

Thats well cheap mate  :shocked:
As you said, the only point of have the rear tracking/camber checked is to check for wear or damage on the rear axle/suspension.
