go to kiplin motorist centre in denbigh industrial estate(bletchley) They've just got in a proper 4 wheel laser alignment machine, ask them if they'll do it cheaper for cash. I've tried to get the tracking done on mine using the old school laser alignment and although they could get the gauges on the wheel, they couldnt adjust the toe because of the camber not being right, it went on their ramps about 4 times and still couldn't do it. Idiots | |

TA Technik, a lot of VW boys use them and to be honest there just as good as the fk's I had a few years back. | |

I checked the tyre pressures at lunch and noticed that 2 offside ones were at 36psi, rear nearside was 35 psi and the front nearside was 32psi. Now put 32psi in all round and it drives a lot better, just need to sort the camber out a bit when I get home and Bobs your Uncle. | |

Get your tracking done ASAP. i made the mistake of leaving it, due to having a busy period with work. | |

You will want the alignment done on the car mate. Although it doesn't look much it's probably well out. You'll soon goose a set of tyres if you leave it! | |

you must get it aligned with a lazer aligner... your camber and toe will be all over the place... | |

What coilovers are they? Are they FK ones? If so they have camber adjustment on them. | |

You can move the hub in/out a bit which will give you a little adjustment over the camber of the wheel. Had to pull my mates out a bit as it was rubbing on the shock. | |

Probably worth getting the tracking done and your wheels balanced. | |
