Try north eastern tyres and exhausts at the Silverlink next to B&Q. They do full four wheel laser alignment.

I've got a 4 wheel laser alignment set up at work. If anyone is interested I'm based in Prudhoe Northumberland.

Pete that sounds a bit far really!

Mark, what exactly does £25 +VAT get me, and what are the other options?

You get the front wheel tracking checked & adjusted to manufacturers settings taking into account the thrust angle/wheel set back to ensure a perfectly central steering wheel. If the rear tracking is adjustable this can also be checked & adjusted if necessary.

OK thanks mark, i'll probably get this done after i replace my tyres, which is soon as they are reaching the barely legal mark!

I'll maybe give you a mail through PH when thats done? Unless of course you have a website or other contact details?

Yes the tracking can be set on lowered cars but sometimes with lowering it can affect the camber angle on the wheels and these are not always adjustable (depending on model).

I am aware of the camber issue, i am pretty certain my tracking is sweet toe wise, but my rears have some camber adjustment, i just wanna make sure there the same...
