Default Wheel Alignment Informative Site

I posted this on 40/50 forum but thought would also post here for a wider audience.

This site is quite informative for explaining all about wheel alignment: different angles, FAQ, what problems mis-alignment can cause, how you can get it sorted and you can search for centres offering alignment.

http://www.alignmycar.co.uk

Although it doesn't appear to be a commercial website it references equipment produced by Hunter Engineering, so it is probably affiliated with them.

Cheers,
Pete

I had my car aligned using a Hunter setup. Interesting website.

Yeah most decent places have a hunter machine these days although they cost about £25,000 at least I think

Kwikfit has one in my area.

I do have a choice of other garages to go to though.

Yeah - unfortunately the search doesn't give any indication of whether the muppets are actually able to use the expensive alignment equipment they've been given!!
