      FFS! Steertrak want about £100.

      Called Fiveways in Croydon t'other day. "Yep, should be OK with those size wheels one, come down and we'll have a look" 40 mins drive and a one second eye cast in the general direction of the Surf "nope, too big"

      May as well drive up to you!

          steertrak refused to do mine and recommended a 'commercial' place that also had no idea.

              Steertrak did mine after I* put balljoint spacers in, he spent an hour banging away at the track rods with a hammer, then pronounced it done. Was fine driving to the end of the road then didn't happen to drive it any distance for a week. When I finally did it was still a bit ####ed.

                Can't believe the caster adjustment was included in that price.

                  Took it last year, they put it on the ramps & set it all up, did some adjustment, took it for a spin, put it back on the ramps & set it up again, adjusted a little more, went for a spin, back on the ramps for a final check & done.

                  About 45 minutes in total.
                  If its not broke don't fix it.

                    I think steertrak is a franchise so it's a gamble whether your local agent paid attention in class or not..

                      For an extra £20 I can have the rear camber adjusted too...

                        I guess you're not referring to your Surf then.
