Question

Hello.
Once you have laser alignment done, under what circumstances or when whan parts are changed, do you need it redone?

The modern Chassis which includes the Steering and Suspension Sytem is a very clever thing. It is alive and living when the car is in motion, therefore subject to wear and tear. We generally recommend you get it checked once a year or every 10,000 miles. If you change or replace any suspension. Get it Checked.

So roughly every year or change of tyres I should fork out £60+ for laser alignment?

Talking

Personally,

I'd do it if

a) you've changed any suspension components (but wouldn't bother if you've just changed tyres

b) every 20-30,000 miles

c) if you have hit anything real hard (curb/pothole etc.)
