Question

As my F1's approach their end, I'm getting horrendous vibrations through the steering wheel - which I'm told is due to the alignment being out. Is AWD that sensitive to worn tyres? Or am I missing something?

Hi m8.Check you haven't lost a balance weight off the front.I have had this happen a couple of times.Rebalance with a new weight cured it.

Thanks Mark.

Haven't seen the stealth wagon around of late (but I do keep strange hours).

The balance has been done but to no effect. I've been pointed towards poor alignment with tyres low on tread. So new tyres first (open wallet and help oneself) followed by alignment set up.
Fingers crossed.
