As I've driven the car more I've noticed it seemed to have an inclination to go right on throttle and left when you get off it. So took it around to the local laser alignment place:

Before >>> After


Only driven it a short distance home but it "feels" better.

To start with we didn't think he'd be able to do it as the left rear of the car was riding 1/2 an inch lower than the right.... But after raising the car on the alignment rig it'd settled flat. scratchchin Underlying Shock problem?

What were they using as their target values? It all looks very neutral, the sort of thing you might see on a family car to reduce tyre wear. The front caster wasn't touched and the rear has almost no toe but plenty of camber which looks a bit odd to me. Also, toe out at the rear should always be avoided.
Overall I'd say I'm not impressed.
It was using whatever the Hunter computer system suggested. I was with him to select the right car from the list. NC with 17" wheels.

So do we know any specialists in the West Mids who'll want to get it spot on?

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Powerstation is closest, but the OH has a Sister in Sheffield so that's a possibility also. I'll have to see if she fancies a visit.

I will. If bits of house would stop failing and taking up my time. I'm going to have to take a day off and trundle up there. Why is it as soon as you want to do something loads of other stuff gets in the way. Gerr
