Cool

Had my tracking done at Powerstation last time (when I had the bump steer mod done).

Since then I've fitted Eibachs and was advised to give them a few weeks to bed in before I get the tracking re-done. Thing is who knows a decent 4 wheel alignment place in Hants (Portsmouth) ? (not michel dever - they are fully booked)

Also do I just get the normal manufacturers settings put on with the bump steer mod ? or is it something different ?

If you are willing to travel a bit, give Mill Lane Engineering a call in Basingstoke.

They are a Subaru dealer so import owners may be out of luck!

Give Charles Figgins a call on 01256-780790

Hope this helps

Hmm quite a drive.

Are you sure it's 'proper' 4 wheel (not 2) alignment stuff ? (can't remember the make that Powerstation use - Sun ?)

It's just a could get a track done anywhere, but I wan't a proper accurate alignment check - all alignments are not equal

Exclamation

I know that Mill Lane spent thousands of pounds on the equipment there!

As to what the equipment actually is, why not give them a call???

Gary,

Have to agree with Andy, Mill Lane are excellent......they have a "proper" full four wheel alignment set up. you will get a before and after printout in the form of a chart, thrust angle, castor, KPI, toe & camber, i think that is about it!!

They are aware of a number of different "setups" including their own, so should be able to put on Power Stations setup if you have the settings.

When i left the forecourt i thought they had put my plate on another car the difference was amazing!!!!!

i think the cost is about £50 and they offer superb coffee for free too........

No links or buisiness interest just that they are good,

Charles is a top guy too.

Mark

Thumbs up

Gary,

Station Tyres in Fareham have full laser four wheel alignment, one of the only ones in the area. Give them a call.
