After fitting coilovers i've read up that getting the tracking / camber set-up is a must when lowered, is this true ?

My steering is out and pulls to the left and feels very loose so i've booked my corsa at a specialist garage to get it done £75 + vat is this a reasonable price ?

This is for 4 wheel tracking alignment, camber adjustment and an overall view of all the suspension bushes on the car

You can't adjust the camber without special camber bolts. If your steering is feeling "loose" I recommend checking both track rod end ball joints and bottom ball joints for play before you fork out for an alignment.

Which model/shape Corsa is it? My steering was loose and it turned out that it needed a new rack.

As Rob said, if you want the camber adjusting then you need special bolts. I had mine 4-wheel aligned and even with the car lowered which has added extra camber, it was well within tolerances so was left as is.

i do my own with the van, amazing wot u can do with camber gauge and some bits of wood, lol! thats only beting used on track so not quite the same!

i think deamon tweeks are around 45ish for tracking, maybe camber was extra! remember to set ride heights up to where your gonna keep them before having it done, everytime u change it needs doing!
