Default 4 Wheel Alignment / balancing

Hi

I live in Preston, Lancs. Can anyone recommend a good place to get the 4 wheel alignment done on MY02 WRX ?

Many thanks in advance

Lancashire Ambulance Service Garage on Garstang road, 773076.

You will need to tell them what settings you want as they are obviously not a Subaru specialist but they have a full 4 wheel alignment rig with camber/caster.

About £54 if you want the camber setting aswell.

How aggressively do you want them setting?

For the Classic some good options near the bottom of this thread: http://bbs.22b.com/cgi-bin/ultimateb...=000112#000000

Can't imagine the new age cars are too different.

OK, thanks for the link, i'll have a look at that in a minute or two, all i really want is the car set up correctly, i only drive to and from work on the Motorway, so i guess i just what the "normal" settings, whatever they mabye. I'll do some research and see what i can come up with.

If you don't want the camber adjusting then Smithy Garage at Salwick (691420) have the same alignment equipment but without the camber/castor facility (TVR also have the same but I don't think they offer the service to anyone else) and will probably be cheaper.

The std settings should be in the data book they have from the suppliers of their alignment equipment.
