Yup, get your tracking done.  I had my tracking and camber done today (camber can only be adjusted if you got the smaller shank bolts on the struts) and its like I've had power steering put on my car because the steering is so much lighter now. It'll be better on the fuel and tyres too.

Cost me £68

good thing is ive got access to workshop space fully kitted for £25 a day maybe less if i do a cheeky deal.  :grin:

sounds like a plan there, i was gonna clean that out good n proper up inside the aches and that. was thinking while the beams off and that for the rear bushes, and the fronts were out to do a strip of the undercarriage and waxoyl the barsteward right up. easy up on a ramp? apart from getting covered in the stuff lol, was gonna buy the wacoyl start kit thing, or could i pay to get it done proper?

thatd be for the sake of doing it though, but i guess its all worth it in the end.  :smiley:

what else did i think of just then? ive forgotten  :embarassed:

oh yeh, my exhausts blowing to if anyone can help, i bought a full system apart from the intermediate pipe, and i fitted it myself on the side of the road but i think every part needs shifting around to stop the annoying blow, tis not huge but i know its there sorta thing..

might take it to a zaust place and offer cash for them to part it all realign it all and do it up  :huh:
