  1. Already been done, OEM parts fitted. But if you guys can have a look at the time I'd be grateful, it's really spoiling the feel of the car. Will get myself booked in, thanks!
  2. Thanks Tony. Does sound like I need to come see you guys. Have you ever heard of the knocking noise I describe? I'd swear it's coming from the wheel area and it goes away almost entirely if it's a hot day out so I assume something's expanding in the heat but I don't know what. Can WIM have a look for that kind of thing when I'm there?
  3. Hi guys, I bought the WIM settings a little while ago and because it's a fair distance to travel, I had my local ATS apply them. Recently I changed tyres and no.2 LCA bushes (went with SuperPro) and went back to have the settings checked as the car felt a bit nervous and skittish. The guy that applied the settings the first time no longer works there, and after 90 minutes of messing around they admitted they couldn't set the car up properly and wouldn't charge- small blessings. However, they pointed out that they had the front passenger camber screwed all the way clockwise and it "wasn't enough", with them suggesting it had been in an accident at some point- not to my knowledge. The steering wheel is also off by a few degrees which is a bit annoying. Lastly they noted that the rear camber bolts were "spinning in the bushings" which wasn't an issue last time so I don't know where they're getting this from. Long story short, is it worth coming from the South East all the way to WIM/BB with these potential problems to have the geometry set up by the experts? I don't even know if they're actual issues or they're just not very good at custom geometry. What would you suggest please? Secondly, I have a knocking noise from the wheels (from left when turning right and the wheels are deflected and vice versa) which I've been chasing for a year now, with multiple mechanics and garages saying they just can't find the problem. Would WIM be able to look for and advise what's causing this at the same time? I'm hoping that coming to people who really know what they're doing will sort this out once and for all. Thanks, sorry for the long post but I thought it better to include as much info as possible!
