Alignment worth it?

[Bradders]

Gonna get a new set of Falken 452 fitted in a week or so.

 

Worth getting an alignment done at the same time? I'm a bit of a newb to this sort of thing as you know, so just want a gentle, Husky, opinion

 

I'm assuming there is a recommended setup here. Saw one recently so I'll have a search, if you guys reckon its worth it.

Yes it is mate.

 

Whoever is doing it should have the optimal settings in their machine for the zed.Hunter is the best alignment system.

[DoogyRev]

I always get alignment done.. for the sake if £10-£15, making sure your alignment is right is better than having to replace a tyre or two prematurely

[Husky]

 

yes you'd be best getting it done

Yeah get a laserplace to do it for you, will hopefully save some tyre wear too...

Mitcheldever Tyres just up the M3

 

Used them for years, good prices

 

But get there for 7:30am on a fri/sat unless you like waiting... lol

Imperative, but a proper 4 wheel alignment will be £80 - £100.00 but still money well spent.

I had a 4 wheel alignment carried out on my zed by The Garage in Motherwell and it completely transformed the handling of the car. Well worth the £80...

+1 on that, think any lower and it will be a manual jobbie... (no laser)

Can't book with that link as it only goes up till 2005! It is 2010 this year is it not?

 

I'll try and find them at the weekend!

[Bradders]

Think that has made my mind up then

 

I've been quoted mate's rates for £60 for a laser one, which seems good.

 

Thanks guys

If you're only paying £10-15 then its not alignment you're getting done - maybe just your tracking and manually at that price Laser alignment will be £70+ - but well worth it IMHO

[DoogyRev]

Is that

Maybe I am thinking about tracking... it been a long day.

Well worth having your tracking done on a regular basis

new tyres and wheels went on last weekend,

 

 

this weekend i'm off to DMS racing to have a full laser alignment check and a fast road setup done to the car. not cheap at about 75.00 but it will address toe, camber and castor settings. this should make the car handle at its most optimum and also improve tyre wear and maximise grip available form the car/tyres.

any1 know any places near burnley. mine always pulled to left a little took it a few places and they say its al set up fine it just feel its not

 

cheers

If you kept standard wheels and tires the monkey operating the machine will have the settings on the computer... if they know what they are doing its not a problem. ;-) I have used both...

Cheers guys

i don't have the alignment specs, but most cars vary; they will all be close to the same settings but each car is individual. so if your going for a full Geo setup, then go somewhere that knows their cars and knows their stuff.

 

if you just want a general alignment check any where will do as they'll have the cars details on the system
