4 Wheel Chassis alignment check

cosmicblue said:

With apologies to those that also follow the RS246 forum. I had a four wheel chassis alignment check in the week and then adjusted to factory spec, the initial report is in the image above.

Why get it done? My previous RSQ3 wore the inner edges of the rear tyres out (expensive), getting that fixed revealed that most cars - even new ones are out but I discovered too late to save the 1st pair of tyres. The current car has done 8,000 miles and will be 1 year old on the 8th of January.

As was the experience of the previous car the driving experience is noticeably different, maybe not a surprise given that having all the wheels pointing in the right direction might be a good idea. The car seems more agile, willing to change direction...worth getting done.

Completely agree, check mine every 5k. Was all good after 1st 5k, so next check at 10k miles probably around end of March when a year old

That's a good schedule that.

I know it's gonna hurt to hear but I went to Kwik fit and was pleasantly surprised by the whole process.

Was gonna cost £100 to adjust camber/toe etc. Needed several adjustments. But I paid £129 and now I have unlimited adjustments at any Center throughout the UK that has the (can't remember the name) proper laser machine. Gonna kick myself for forgetting the name.

I too went to KW for two new tyres and also had the 4 wheel alignment check using the Hunter system. The rears where fine but the front left, as I suspected was out. Cost me £55 to have the front alignment adjusted. It was fun watching the eletronic readout on the tv showing the alignment and the adjustment.
My car also feels more 'pointy' and quieter after the adjustment however that could be down to the new tyres...
