Evening guys, wheres the best place to get 4 wheel alignment done, for a reasonable price, im looking to use pitstop tyres down clayton road in hayes any other recommendations?

regards

VJ

 

Depends what you call decent money, Wheels in motion (Amersham) and FB Tuning (High Wycombe) are both about £120 but you'll get a good job. FB will also advise on the best Goe for your driving if he ask hiim

 

ok cool, the cars been drifting to the left lately, tyres are ok, so can be only assuming can be the alignment?

regards

VJ

 

+1 for FB where I had mine set up

 

Another vote for FB Tuning here.

 

+ 2 FB done mine as well

 

Guys, does FB give the geo settings used?

 

Lol I bet they never touched the bolts and just printed the last customer out easiest £24 ever !

 

you don't get much sense of humor for £24 either do you, grumpy ****

 

Lol

 

I got a full print out of the settings from Rich after he had done mine. The car feels a lot more planted and goes into corners much better now.

 

Richard does mine Joe and I have no complaints with the setup

 

No it's how many times I throat fcuked your mum before she stopped breathing What's up fella you on the blob this week or are you boo hooing about repressed memories of being touched by Jimmy Saville and your dad ?

Either way call someone a **** and you're fair game

So how about you forget about being touched by grownups in your formative years and post a picture of what £24 and a handjob buys you at the local tyre centre. Be interesting to see your settings regardless

 

**** comments aside, the Hunter laser systems are very good.

 

Back to the topic...

I'm getting mine done this week by Richard

 

BACK TO THE TOPIC !!! please and thank you with a cherry on top

 

Oooo fightclub, you're so gangsta, is your stage name P.Fiddly ? I must say you do have a potty mouth for someone so outraged, an ironic **** perhaps

Still waiting for a pic of your £24 alignment, must be good if hawkeyes and lasers are involved

@OP...for what it's worth, FB Tuning in Princes Risborough does all my alignment on Hunter Systems. He set up my New Age for Brands and Snetterton and then again on my Classic for Snetterton. Unless you already have a preferred setup, it's the performance track and road experience you're paying for not the cheapest A.N.Other grease monkey turning the spanner with a preset albeit hi-tec bit of string. Rich has masses of track time under his belt to advise the best settings for all out track performance aswell as fast road/tyre conscience precision

Worth the trip from London, it's not that far and the drive back will be fun

 

Post your £24 print out and show him lad

Gooooo on lad
Edited- sorry you now have

 

Im new to geo.
What settings are those Twin Fields?
Are they standard or did you tell them to put it on those settings??

 

Any honest comments on this guys as I have no clue on what it should be,
P.s I paid £100 for mine done from Richard Henry's and never got a print out should of I ? It felt a lot better anyway and I can see the camber on rear wheels.

 

Firstly, many thanks for posting a reply without profanity

Secondly, that setup is worth almost £24 IMHO and I'm not trying to be a **** here just saying

He's done very little for very little when all you needed was a slight front end adjustment for - camber and a little adjustment for toe on the right side given it's a road car ?. The pre rear left toe is also a little excessive for most people He's not even sorted out the caster ffs.

It actually shows very little understanding beyond the very dull straight line set up the Hunter settings have thrown up for a NewAge Wagon I doubt he's even applied them as they're recommended, as they just look kak to me

 

This all boils down to what you want from your car
As Maggy said if you 2 want a bitch fight go elsewhere, dont do it with the swearing on the msoc section
If you want the factory settings checked and adjusted for your car then go anywhere
If you want a tailored set up for how you drive and where go to FB tuning
So lets call it quits guys, please

 

Well **** you all because I get mine done for free

 

best of luck with your scoob

 

Rich pays half of that to the garage he hires the laser alignment kit from. His workshop doesn't have one and as a one man set-up I suspect it would be difficult to justify the outlay unless it was to become the mainstay of his business. Then again, more overheads would mean his prices going up and he is extremely competitive in that department. When you look at places like Wheels-in-Motion and Carnetic, all of whom do an equally good job of tailoring and advising according to your driving needs, then the prices are all about the same give or take a fiver.

You pay your money and you take your choices - if it costs a little more for a professional service and piece of mind I know where my money would go.

Back to the original question, Joe, you won't go wrong using Rich

 

What's even funnier about your comment is that none of these companies are based in Middlesex - rather those of us in Middlesex have the intelligence to spend wisely and employ a professional rather than a general grease monkey

 

How would he do that ?
Im asking a serious question here as without a ALK or rotated camber top mounts I dont know how they would alter this.

 

There is a limited amount of play in the suspension rear mounting bushes - loosen the 2 bolts and they can be tweaked to try and even out the caster.

An ALK won't even them out only increase the caster - it will still need to be adjusted.

 

If you look you'll find the holes are elongated and that is why there is some movement - this will allow a decent geo place to sort out your caster

 

I reckon there is only one place to end the geo argument, and that would be at a track, but then again, if you have your geo setup to drive miss Daisy, I guess that wouldn't interest you?

Also, 53 gave a very informed response re: your geo, and you went off on one again !!
