  • 4 wheel alignment / tracking?

    Does anyone know where i can get a 4 wheel alignment or tracking in Derby's?

    went to Kwikfit earlier, they said they couldn't do it cos their gauge won't fit, needs to be a 4x4 specialist cos've my 33's.....

    Have you tried one of the commercial vehicles centres such as ATS have rather than one of their car centres?

    Had this problem with vehicles at work large sprinters and the like due to tyre on bands etc - I think our workshop get its done at somewhere like this as they have the stuff to fit over bigger tyres.

      I always take mine to a HI-Q garage because they have import data on surfs & only charge £25, never had a problem with them & I've been to 2 different ones.
      Not sure if you have one local to you.
      If its not broke don't fix it.

          Mine are standard rims & tyres but I'm sure they could do yours with 33".

            You can't adjust the back, you only need the front setting.

            The caster and camber are sometimes difficult to get set, as adjusting one alters the other, and lots of tyre places don't have the patience to dial it in properly, at bit at a time.

            Also lots of torsion bar lift makes setting the caster properly as it pulls the top of the hub into the middle of the car, if you can't get them to specs then either lower the front, or at least get them both the same amount out so it drives straight.

            Toe in and out is easy though, and is the really important one.
