Should be able to get a tracking alignment done anywhere for about £15 - £20 mate. Try your local tyre / wheel place.

Hi Just had mine done, it was way out and I had to pay £50 for 2 lots of adjustments made loads of difference though! 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!

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:

Demon Tweeks will do camber for about the £50 quid mark... most tyre places will do tracking, although the 'Tweeks quote includes it as changing the camber will throw out any tracking adjustment anyway.
