When I was considering getting my track day CRX setup I did some research and some chap in a TVR on Pistonheads has a nightmare at Mototec.

Rich, take the hit on £'s and pop up to powerstation in Tewkesbury. They know their stuff when it comes down to subaru alignment. Reassuringly expensive but hopefully you'll get your setup resolved one way or the other. Surprised that Melvyn Evans Motorsport didn't sort your car out, makes me wonder if there's something else (that's not obvious) causing the problem

Rich I did mine after a suspension change, and my passenger front wheel isn`t 100% the same as the drivers, you`ll only notice if you look hard. But camber bolt in the bottom.
If you find somewhere good ask about a group buy lol, as I DEFFO need mine doing, so would be up for a spin to get it done.

Did you get your alignment sorted out yet Simon? Yours is really in need of attention if not.

Rich, you can hear horror stories about any garage / dealership / repairer but it does seem odd that the wheel is so far out of alignment, I'd take the car back up there and ask them to redo the alignment.

Unless they seriously messed up then there might be an underlying problem.

No Ty not yet - I was waiting to hear how Rich got on, but now I'm not so sure on Melvyns place.

When I had the part worns fitted by Harrison Bros, I had a laser tracking check/adjust there - he only worked on the front, cured the left hand pull I was also getting, not sure how it has affected the inner tyre wear I was getting yet though.

There was equipment on all four wheels - but only the front was worked on - blow lamp on the pass side as it was stuck

Wasn't there a guy who posted a while back from Bridgend who said the company he worked for could carry out full alignment and corner weighting?

From memory he had a classic but I don't think he's been on here since...

It was almost double what Powerstation wanted . He then went off to get a price but never got back.

Thanks for info guys. I'm going to rebush and refit my old lateral links. At the mo I have adjustable lat links on and the trouble seems to be since fitting these. Anyone know how much powerstation charge???
