Question

Hi,

Does anyone know where in either the Swindon area or Southampton area, where I can get 4 wheel alignment for my 95 WRX ?

I want to get this checked, as my driver side rear isn't wearing correctly, and you get an odd drone from it due to this. I want to get it sorted out b4 buying some new tyres.

Does anyone know all the correct figures for angles etc.. ?

Thanks

Kev

Hi Stroudy
Do yourself a favour and give those nice people at Micheldever tyre services a bell, they're up near Winchester. 01962 774437.
I had my my00 done today with Prodrive settings and it feels much more stable mid corner! and does'nt seem to understeer as much.

Ps they know all the right settings.

Thanks Ron for the info.
Mitcheldever said that it should only take an hour.. how long did it take to set yours up ?
Did you get tyres at the same time ? if so can you recommend any in particular ?

I take it using the Prodrive settings, shouldn't cause exaggerated tyre wear ?

Anyways, will be booking mine in shortly..

Hi Stroudy
Yes it took about an hour and cost £50, apparently it will wear the inside edge of the tyre at a greater rate if you do a lot of motorway miles, (I don't) I didn't get tyres interestingly I spoke to a chap up there who was getting his first new pair of tyres on his Sport after an amazing 60k,(gulp) mine wont be lasting that long!
Good luck and enjoy!
Ron
