Default Wheel alignment set up day at my place

Hey guys ... I have a top of the range hunter 4 wheel
Align system ... I was thinking of setting up a day where we can all get together and set up a discounted rate for everyone to have they're alignment checked/adjusted ... We have standard setting and can cater for your own individual settings...

Let me know numbers if anyone is interested
Thanks

Depends on what set up you want ... Caster, camber and toe front and rear your looking about £90-£100.... Ride height would have to check. Best way is to use a tape measure between centre of hub and bottom of arch and just keep settling until all corners match

Setting the ride height can take a number of attempts. I found the easiest measurement was from the wheelarch to the top of the wheel rim using a caliper. Set the car with a very slight nose-down attitude. Most important Take the measurements on perfectly level ground. Any unevenness will alter individual corner ride heights. The car needs to be driven after each adjustment to settle the springs after being jacked-up, before re-checking the heights.
