supRo Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I manged to spin the car last weekend and hit a curb with an almighty bang! The rear wheel was at an angle and the steering was at a fair left angle when driving straight! http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?p=517061&posted=1#post517061 Fearing the worst (Bent arm, rod or even chassis!) I took it to Northway tyres in Collingdale - Northway was reccomended by Phoenix but the Watford branch had a broken alignment machine. The chap (Wayne) spent about an hour and quarter adjusting the settings and it's all back in spec and she's driving straight again! I was also lucky enough to be one of the first 10 customers of the day - 10% off and they had 10% off wheel alignment anyway this weekend! So I had 20% off and knew nothing of the promotions So they spent total off 1.5 hours and on my request balanced the rears and inspected for buckling/damage. Total cost: £115!! I would definitely reccomend them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supRo Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 Cheers bud. Try and get Wayne to do it. I watched him carefully, he did it properly and was levelling/settling the powersteering. I've seen many 'mechanics' who don't do this! He also got the big extension bar and was really going at it!!! (Tracking the car)! They do free check anyway.
