The importance of alignment

Geezers, I have had my car for 18 months now and in that time its been on 2 sets of coilovers, 4 different lots of dampers and 2 different sets of lowering springs but like a complete douche bag I have never bothered to get it aligned during all this fettling.

I have noticed since putting on my latest set of coilovers that my car seemed to be kicking the rear end out on right hand turns but not so mcu on left, also it feels like im driving on skateboard wheels, very unstable and not much contact with the road, 80mph on the motorway could be quite frightening.

I obviously knew what the problem was so popped it into Gordans Tyres today in Wakefield for a 4 wheel laser alignment on there however many ££££££££££ machine.

He came back to me after a few minutes and a real effort getting it onto the ramp and said my rear wheels had real bad positive camber and my fronts weren't much better, £60 and an hour later and the car feels so secure and sturdy on the road now.

very please, sorry to go on but I think its important that people understand the importance of having it checked after you mess with the suspension before it gets really bad like mine and becomes dangerous to drive.

Thanks for your input guys, to be honest it is always something iv never put much thought into but will be taking it very seriously from now on, plus if you go and your alignment isn't out they generally wont charge you so it doesn't hurt to go and find out especially with the weather the way its going to be.

Aw mate, mine had back to the future style camber only positive, ha ha I can't believe how bad it gets knocked out from lowering?!
