Hi do you have to get the tracking done after fitting the idler
Also are they hard to fit ? Or it a easy 4 bolt job

Personally, I prefer amateurs to leave steering, suspension and brakes alone, but I'm in a very small minority. There's nothing really complicated in them, but small mistakes can have very serious consequences.Do you know that, with a 50 character limit, it's

That's subjective. I'd say it was a piece of p!ss (5 bolts, if you take the idler off), others wouldn't be able to do it. Depends on how competent you are.

Although reading Jeffs post I think he means steering damper, could be wrong though.
If this is what you mean then I have a procomp one.

I just had my tracking done , upper ball joint & a new pair of tyres ( which i hope to have for some time )
Would you still recommend getting the tracking rechecked ?
PS thanks for all your help I don't post often but you guys on here have taught me a lot & saved me ££££s....You no who you are,,, CHEERSLast edited by Kill-Surf-City; 15 June 2010, 13:46.
