I finally got round to having my falken tyres as recommend by guys here and damn they good... the front grips so much better at all speeds and in the wet!! problem was the car was slightly pulling to the left before, payed for a track and balance with the new tyres but the problem got worse with wheel wobble above 40 and nolonger pulling left but the steering wheel biased over to the right a fair amount to go straight...

 

went back and they rebalanced the wheels (removing the wobble...although if they had done this correctly first time... :headvswal ) and re-tracked the car again...

 

the steering wheel is less baised to the right now (although still not centered) and the car has a slight pull off to the left (fairly slight just requires pressure on the wheel)..

 

I phoned them up again and they say the car has been tracked in line with their guidelines....

 

any suggestions? It worth paying someone else to do a wheel align? Also they didnt move the wheels.. i have seen places before that move the car forwards while tracking and the lasers check for rotational tracking differences.. guessing this might help?

 

They set my wheels to something like 1mm in it i think and 5mm was showing on the reflectors on the back wheels? might mean more to someone else...

Did you get ALL 4 WHEELS tracked ?

I asked for it but they claimed because of the hicas with their system they could only to the front wheels? I told them it wasnt active below 30mph anyways but they were having nothign to do with it..

You should get all 4 tracked.

If you have to hold your steering wheel at a slight angle, this will steer the rears to some extent

right guessing i should get it done at a decent place and not just mr tyre then.... any decent 4wheel alignment places around tamworth or lincoln?

thats crap - the rears can be tracked up no probs.
