Since having my 4 wheel alignment my steering seems to be biased to pulling to the drivers side, could they have caused this by not setting things up correctly?
Also i am not happy with the way the car is handling, what improvements could be made to the suspension or steering to improve things.

thx

just sounds like its hasnt been carried out correctly, or on crap equipment.

when I first had the RT i fitted new tyres all round then had a full geometry job on the latest US made equipment it had settings to one hundredth of a degree and had the viper measurements pre-loaded into it, the job took a couple of hours. The car was loads better than when it went and felt like it was stuck to the tarmac, it felt a lot safer to push harder around bends (recall it went with just 3 of the 12 settings within the required factory tolerances...) Ideally you would have another check up as the tyres wear in

Alignment is very simple on the viper once the lasers are setup on all 4 wheels, I was told it was just 'like doing a mondeo' as everything is adjustable

did you get a print out of the final setup ?

Where do you go to get it all set up properly, I can't imagine my local Kwik Fit having settings for a GTS ?

a private garage near Bromsgrove, they look after the GTS, they have had a few club vipers pass through for various things.

at the time they were the only company I could find in the Midlands that had the correct equipment to align the viper
