Every garage round my area is pants. They cant get the gauges under my front OR my rear arches.
would 4 Wheel Laser Alignment work? i'm not very clued up on this but theres a place about 40 miles away which does this.
Thanks alot, Steve

I only let one place track my car. They use a 4 wheel tracking and the actual gagues they attach to the rims not the tyres.

Nope. Literally latches onto the rims themselves. Erm.. Try to u2u Robin if you don't understand. He might know a little more about the technicalities of it

I know what you mean Phil.
If you ring around a few places and ask if they have the ones which mount to the wheel, not the tyre, they'll understand.

dunlop gauges are shite raelly. there ok just to check the tracking but u cant check to see if its aligned with the rear ok or not tho.
my mate used clamp on gauges when he does mine. there like a claw/clamp that attaches between the rim and tyre without damaging the wheels, then the laser alignment gauges hang off those

ah right, cheers matey. i'm going to give the dunlops a try due to this town being shite and not having any decent tracking places. Apparently the guy i have found is a perfectionist. Its a classic car garage so god knows what hes going to make of my corsa lol.
According to my mate these dunlop gauges use mirrors and 'the eye'
