After my saga with seized rear track arm brought it back to have alignment redone at weekend. Steering wheel is now off to the right pity as car drives quite well but can't focus on enjoying it as the steering wheel really me off. So looks like I will have to go back again  Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

its got to be done again Conner cos although it drives ok that off set steering wheel will bite you every time you get in to drive it.. ... - .- -.

Aside from that, if the steering angle sensor is not zeroed, sooner or later you'll pop a fault. Many modern cars have steering angle sensors for the stability control systems - not just RRs. This does not necessarily speak for the alignment shop...

I bit the bullet and went for a complete 4 wheel alignment at a known "expensive" specialist near me...they did a fantastic job and although it was 60 quid I have a centered steering wheel and the car drives beautifully. Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

Hi mate, im in cheshire too and need a wheel alignment done. Where did you take yours for £60?

Thanks
Matt

60 quid isn't that expensive - let me know where as well please. I can easily get to Cheshire particularly if the alignment place is conveniently near a pub that I will be taking SWMBO out to lunch at  Geoff

Mine went to Jeffreys in Warrington. They checked the whole lot and quoted £120 as 'worse case' scenario but when they called to say it was ready it was a shade under £60 with VAT.

My range rover was the poor relative with a Lambo and a 911 turbo plus a GL500 in the car park.

Nice team of guys there too.  Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

is it this company?

That's them. You need to ask for Neil, he's the manager there and was superb. I was impressed with the service etc...after a £120 quote they showed me the alignment readouts and work done, halved my bill and I was on my way. They could have said it was £120 and I'd have paid it tbh.... Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

I take it once wheel is straight or very near to I can reset steering wheel angle sensor using iid tool and all should be ok? Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

Does anyone know anyone in the derby area who can do a 4 wheel align?

Pretty sure the md just send it to the local tyre place and for a few quid i want to get it done. Have the same problem as Conor, md was supposed to have re tracked it after swapping the track rod but the wheel is off by a couple of degrees....grrrr. slight, but irritatng. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

£60 I had to cough up £160 to get mine done, the guys said that it was because the rear adjusters were seized solid, so they ended up stripping and copper greasing the eccentric bolts etc

£160 is not unheard of PD Can take ages to free off the rusty bolts on the rear end!!!

Tell me about it 2 hours with a grinder two Russian dudes and 40 Marlboro get yours greased today! track arm bolts that is  Present :2008 TDV8 HSE
