I took the car back AGAIN today, didnt get back yesterday as i was dying with man flu lol. No questions, fair play to them, straight on the ramp and checked again, and was out again, before this i checked it myself in work, found nothing loose or bent. Driving home the car seems to be driving nice and straight, althought it was and still is (only tried it once though) not coming out of full lock to the right, i need to try it again tomorrow to be sure, and probably put my old wheels back on to illiminate tyre problems, as my tyres are quite worn. Turning the wheel from lock to lock it does seem to be fairly central on the rack. Any body any other ideas why it wouldnt return from full lock, returns ok from the left, just not from the right. I did replace the right bottom arm, but it seemed identical to the one that came off. The slightest touch of the wheel and it will self centre, but trun it in and let go, it stays there, there's no tightness in the rack or column.

whats the price of tracking now as last time i went they used to look down a periscope thing and charged £5/6 quid,20 odd yrs ago, is there a good company to go to as i fear some of the local garages by me still have the submarine equpment (or is it ok),cheers,cam.

Anywhere that has 4 wheel lazer alignment, my alignment was £20, imo its £20 well spent (if the gimps can use the equiment)
