Tony Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 The screen shot below is from a car recently set by another company.... Once set not only did it drive pants but it also stuffed the tyres in a few hundred miles. (Posted twice to enlarge) As you can see every angle bar one was incorrect some of them dangerously.... Ironically one set every angle was perfect "bar one".... I asked the owner why he excepted the car back in this condition, apparently he was told it was the cars fault since the adjusters were seized and a load of other crap..... As it turned out nothing was seized and one adjuster ran out of range. Oh and he wasn't given the printout from the company..... what a surprise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 That's pretty shocking! What type of alignment did they have before then, a geo or 4 wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I couldn't begin to explain how the hell the technician got the car in this condition.... It's almost blind panic with turning of bolts in the hope it will mend it's self... The fact that all angles bar one adjusted back to the correct settings proved they just didn't know what they were doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
