Powered down a bit hard accross a twisty junction the other day. Got wheel spin whilst turning. S/Wheel ever so slightly left hand down now when going straight - although cars seems to drive straight with hand off. Not sure if it is fine and I am being paranoid or if I have upset the tracking? Could be the s/wheel was like it before?

Do you trust places like Kwik Fit to do the tracking? In the past I have found so many tyre places all doing it differently, some with very antiquated old kit that I never trust it is any better than when I first went in?

Where do you get yours done?

Unless you have given it a serious whack then leave it alone.

Quickfit and places like that are crap. You know before you go in there they will tell you your tracking needs doing even if it doesnt. If you have to get it done you need 4 wheel alignment and you wanna go to a professional 4 wheel alignment centre rather than a cowboy outfit.

Think that was the answer I was expecting but being lazy as I don't know of any decent wheel alignment centres around here, hoping it wasn't - if you follow me...

I wouldn't be too fussed normally but it was a good ole wheel spin with the front end bouncing a bit whilst the wheels were on about half lock.

Do you reckon I am just being paranoid?
