You can do the front tracking, but the steering wheel might be off centre. | |

Think he refers to the lasers as flags, had my car jacked up at the back so the lasers would fit over my tyres :lol: | |

quote: i have always thought tracking is done with guages at the front only, which is cheaper, and 4 wheel alightment uses 4 guages inc rear wheels, ie vauxhall charge £50 for 4 wheel alignment and £25 for tracking :S, i opted for the 4 wheel option, they use manual guages, with a laser beam pointin towards the front, i had to hold the guage in place as my rear was too low for it to go over the tyre..i paid that much cos the service they provided me.... went to another place for 4 wheel alignment, all done digitally with flashy numbers and stuff, adjusted it 3 times and it was still wrong, guy even blamed the camber of the road making me poit the steering wheel to 1 side..i just left and went to vauxhall ps what do u mean they hang flags at the back :lol: [Edited on 21-07-2007 by corsa-sxi] [Edited on 21-07-2007 by corsa-sxi] | |

Tracking and 4 wheel alignment are the same thing TBH, most people are just lazy and can't be arsed to type the whole thing :lol: | |

i hope so, the fitter did them both, so i dnt see why he put different pressures in them, i dnt really wanna fork out £50 to sort it again, ive had mine tracked countless times now, i dnt even drive up kerbs and i avoid all potholes and man hole covers.....and in hull, i cant trust any1 to do it, cos they are all naff.... | |

tracking isn't out if you're having to hold it straight, that'll be the pressures. | |

would pressure affect the track tho.... | |

Only thing i can think of is the pressures mate, even if they needed running in they would both be the same if they were replaced at the same time. | |

the tracking seems to be slightly out, i have to hold the wheel slightly to the right to make it steer straight :S its strange cos i dont see how changing tyres can affect the tracking....i aint checked the pressures yet...maybe its over inflated? or could it be just new tyres need running in :S |
