View Full Version : Can't get my tracking checked

I had some new tyres put on yesterday, the tyre fitter said that it looks like my trackings out. I asked him if they could do it, they said they can't because the cars lowered and they need to hook it over the back wheel. I have tried two other places who have all said the same :? Has anyone in the southwest had their tracking done on a lowered nova? If so where did you have it done? Or is there a way to do it myself?

you mean 4 wheel lazer alingment ?

just find someone to do it without the lazer alignment, i know a chap local to me and he sets up racecars/track cars without lazer alignment gear and it's been spot on ever since.

There's a place near me that used to do it but afaik they've closed now.

I've got a mate in wiltshire, I'll ask him if he knows anywhere :wink:

surley they could lift the car on one of those lifters with the arms that hold the car underneith rather than a ramp thus when the car is lifted the wheels will drop.

Cost him ?35, but that was a little while ago so prices might have changed :wink:
