I'm after someone in the Northwest (I'm in Widnes) who can do 4-wheel tracking, preferably digital. I've got an Alfa GTV and most (Krap-Fit/National/etc) places I've been to tell me the back wheels can't be adjusted, and when I tell them they can, they go and get 'the book' to prove me wrong, then say 'oh, yeah we can...' which hardly instills confidence!

The only place I can think of is Demon Tweeks, and I'd rather not go to an Alfa dealer because I'm running 18" wheels, and that seems to throw them. Strange...

Thanks in advance!

I don't know for certain, but the subaru/suzuki dealer in Widnes heading toward Warrington can apparently do full laser geo set ups, so probably can also do 4 wheel tracking. This is second hand info off a mate so not confirmed!

I know they aren't exactly local to everyone, but neither is Demon Tweaks...

for 4 wheels 3D alignment (Tracking, Castor & Camber) try:

Loe Bank Motors
Unit 6,
Bridge Mills,
Rochdale Rd,
Edenfield,
Bury.
BL0 0RE

01706 825572

They are an independant Porsche specialist and the owner is a proper enthusiast who does track days and the like... He knows how to set a car up

I don't have anything to do with them, but they come highly recommended to me from fellow SXOC members.

Took Bluey to Harvey's, Leicester St, Northwich, the place used by Neils (TVR). Good chaps. £40

Cheers guys.

Headed to Tweeks on a day off only to discover the rear track rod's had all seized up! Anyway, she's on axle stands at the mo as the wheels are off being refurbed and I've just taken delivery of a full replacement set of discs & pads all round - just waiting for the Goodridge hoses.

The calipers are all off to be repainted too as the original enammel's peeling.
