dont really wanna pay £200 for it tho.

the last bumpersteer mod was washers under the rack mounts to tlowe the rack.

£42 for 4x4 tracking isnt bad tho is it, from hi Q, better than £100+ quoted from the professional places

Washers under the rack was a crap idea which evetually made the steeriing creak like mad.

£42, are you going to get the necessary camber, castor and toe setting for front and rear wheels?

Having a quick look at the car, cant see how the rear is adjusted, isnt it just the front thats adjustable toe wise etc ?

I'd avoid the 'bump steer' mod if I was you.
I have just had the oe steering bushes replaced on my Forester after having the bump steer mod done some 3/4 yrs back and the shim had really chewn up the oem bush.
Stick with a full suspension geometry set up.
