Wheel alignment experts needed!

I've had a few bushes replaced on the 'rado (VR6) and took it along to get the alignment done at a reputable specialist. As I expected it was way out and the car was handed back to me with the printout. The car was pulling to the left (and the steering wheel moved noticeably counter-clockwise when I let go of it on a flat, stright road). I took it back and it was further adjusted but I was told that it could be the tyres having been worn unevenly.

 

However, after a 3500 mile road trip, the pulling to the left is still there. Looking at the printout again, the camber and caster both seem way off but I was told these are non-adjustable - this isn't true is it? If they were non-adjustable then the settings wouldn't be so far out of tolerance surely?

No that's rubbish, you can't do much with castor but the whole point of 4 wheel allignment is to sort the camber out and this is adjusted via the 2 bolts on the bottom of the suspension struts.

 

Get your money back and take it somewhere else like Stealth.

Yeah - as Steve says. They're talking out of their backsides unfortunately. Camber is fully adjustable on the Corrado (front) suspension. I'd suggest taking it to another garage.

 

Lost count of the amount of places who say they can only adjust certain things and send cars out pulling in random directions.. clearly it isn't right!

 

Where are you located?

They shouldn't accept the job if they can't adjust camber - it's pointless.

 

Also if you go somewhere and they don't know what the settings should be - don't use them!

What a bunch of numpties! Make sure you get your money back, they've wasted your time! I wouldn't even let them near it if they have a change of heart and wanted to attempt it. They are clearly clueless!
