I have a little VW Golf MKIV V6 4motion which has made contact with a kerb on the nsr wheel.
I can tell the camber is out at higher speed due to the ESP kicking in very early.
At lower speeds it is fine.

Does anyone know of a good place near the West Malling area to get the camber/caster and alignment done? I know of loads of places who will just do front wheel alignment.

I am tempted to whiz it up to Elite in Rainham but would like somewhere closer.

Thanks

Hi John, long time!

Even though they are not local I always go to Elite Racing in Essex. Always done a good job for me...

As I understand it one of the garages in West malling high street does 4 wheel alignment.

Its local, so worth a look.

Yes still got it, on a memory stick.Are you going to Goodwood? I will bring it along.

I now need a new rear coil on the golf, will get that done and whiz it it up to Elite, i know the camber is out not just the alignment.

For a 4 wheel alignment check I also use Elite.
If I need a complete suspension set up (custom settings incl ride height, corner weighting, etc) I head over to here. http://blackboots-px.rtrk.co.uk/wheels-alignment.p...

The black boots website is very informative.

It helps highlight my dilema.
I know the camber is out so I want to take it somewhere that phones and says;

"yes your camber was out and we have sorted if for you by adjusting/fitting shim bolts" (im not sure if you can adjust the 4motion).

rather than

"yes your camber is out, you better get that sorted!"

Thanks for the replies
