  1. Do you have any in the North East? There are none on the map. Cheers Andy
  2. The garage where I had my tracking done was 'North East Tyres and Exhausts' and they used a 'Hunter's Alignment Machine' - Sadly as soon as I pulled the car onto the road the steering wheel was at a crazy angle despite them clamping it straight for the adjustment. I returned and they quickly adjusted the car. One suspects just to get the steering wheel straight and to get me out the door! After 5k I noticed the inner edgde of the driver's side tyre was being scrubbed. The tracking I have just had done using primitive laser equipment revealed (according to the mechanic) that the tracking was some 7mm out! Following the fitting of new steering outer tie rods and new tyres I thought it best to feel the tyres after a run to see if any area was getting hot? The inner side of the front driver's tyre was much hotter than the other side after a motorway run. So I need to find a trustworthy garage who can check things out and alter the geometry to the correct settings within the North East? Any help or guidance would be great. Andy
  3. I have a Vauxhall Omega and have found that the front inner sidewall has been scrubbed away after only a few thousand miles Having had the tracking done by a small local garage and replaced the tyres with new, I found that after a motorway run the inside of the dirver's side sidewall was very hot. I fear the camber will need adjusting? Who do you recommend in the North East of England? It appears that the Vauxhall settings for geometry are not the best? How do I ensure the garage will apply the best settings to my car? Any giudance would be greatly appreciated Andy
