Just got quoted £210 for wheel alignment by LR dealer :eek::eek:
Seems a bit excessive so thinking of getting the local tyre guy to do it instead but not sure if he will have the settings etc.
Can anyone tell me what the settings should be please?

£210

hahahahhahahah!


my local wheel and tyre place charged me £45 for laser alignment. I get no pull, wheel dead centre and spot on even wear across the tyre face. Your local alignment people will have the settings in their computer or book.. I wont even guesstimate what they used for mine, because its pointless... they will have the correct numbers.

How many of them do it correctly though. Ive had 2 places both do it without aligning steering box too.

Tracking is done first then steering box centred by adjusting drag link. But small track adjustment won't effect draglink adjustment noticably.
