Wheel alignment - what do I need to do?

<< < (2/3) > >>

auf_wiedersehen_pet:
Following on from this...

...do the likes of KwikFit have the correct sort of equipment to do this?

mattyme:
there arent a lot of places that can do 4 wheel alignment as far as i know.
kwikfit and such places dont usually have a 3D camera alignment computer.... as far as i know, in sheffield there are only 2 places.
the old laser tracking is not accurate at all by modern standards..... its worth finding a place with the latest equipment if you can.

3D CAMERA WHEEL ALIGNMENT ??????????????

has the world gone mad its a land rover  wack it with a big hammer !!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEHEHEHEHEE

doesent matter where you take it there is no ajustment, where you are saying, like allready said wheel bearings or swivel bearings

otherwise yr axle is bent

i have over 3 inches of lift and no caster correction with 265 75 16  and they sit upright.

maggers:
Even if Kwik Fit have the equipment they usually lack the ability to use it correctly. This sort of kit is only really usefull on cars that you can adjust caster/camber etc on, since all you can adjust on a Discovery is the track then a set of Dunlop gauges is just as usefull. Try a local garage, usually more helpfull than Kwik Fit & :-o the ilk.

Disco-andy:
From memory ( I'm not going out to the garage at this time) the distance between the center of the two track rods should be 123.5cm to get the wheels stair.  As allready said 4 wheel stuff is useless on a disco1 as you can't ajust any thing
