alignment

I've booked my car in for a full alignment and check at the Oldham place listed here: http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk./trusted.htm Since the wheels point blank refuse to balance properly. Other than the car's service history (which I have good detail on since I bought it), is there...

I'm having difficulty getting the windows to line up on the off-side of our W209 CLK cabrio. With the hood down there is a gap of about 4mm between the top of the drivers window and the rear window. With the hood up, the 'gutter' of the hood closes the gap to about 1mm, but only by the...

I need to get my alignment fixed, (c220cdi 2002). The two nearside tyres are wearing badly on the outside edge, the front offside wearing slightly on the outside edge, the rear offside wearing flat. I am wary of taking it to the dealer, they tend to be horribly expensive. It was first...

Just had 2 new rear tyres (GY Eagle F1 GSD3's) fitted and had my alignment checked at the same time. I've attached a couple of screen grabs of the alignment figures. The screen with the red boxes is the front axle. Do you think I should get the alignment done? The guy at the tyre place said I...

Help I need the numbers! I have my own machine but the car is newer then the machine (not in data base). Does any one know the figures for toe, caster and chamber? thanks

Last week I put four new tyres on the car down at Costco. They couldn't do 4 wheel alignment so I thought I get it done this week. ATS/Euromaster said they could do it yesterday afternoon for £60 at about 2.30. I said I'd get there for 3.00pm just in case. The bloke said 2.45 would be fine. When...

Can anyone recommend a good place to get my alignment done on my CLK? Pref around the Surrey / Sussex areas Cheers

I need to get a 4 wheel alignment done on my car so thought I'd call Mercedes as I've been to a couple of places and they can't do it. Guess how much they want to do it.....No actually, you won't be able to so I'll tell you... They said it will take 2.5 Hours and will cost £115.00 per...

went to get the tracking done on my car today but was told that the track rod ends have seized so cannot been done. how do i get them to unseize as the tracking is out on my car. the tyre fitter told me this was a common problem on older mercs and that the track rod ends are hollow which means...

HI all, I have a weird problem with the headlight alignment on my C200. As far as I can tell the lights are standard. When I point the lights at a wall on dipped beam the lights are level and about the right height. When I switch to main beam, the off side light spot appears just above where the...

I'm having new tyres fitted today and having the alignment done. The place where I'm having this done has a computerised camera-based 4-wheel alignment system. Would the W203 need to have the 4-wheel alignment or would it just need the 2-wheel? Is there any adjustment that can be made to...

Hi there, Does anyone know of an alignment centre in the West London area who has one of the prolign/hunter/bismerth systems. Rough prices and numbers would be great Thanks

I have been putting up with a pull to the left with the car but when the chap at dealer collected car today i asked him to see if it's me or the car when he drives 20 plus miles back to the dealership. Unfortunately it wasn't my imagination...he confirmed my suspicion and says its pulling...

Had the coupe for a month now...a few problems at first but slowly working though them thanks to the help from this forum !! keep up the good work !! My newest quibble.... I noticed that although the passenger door on my late model 124 coupe closes with very little effort the drivers door...

Can anyone advise on front and rear tracking settings for my 1997 W210 E300D Elegance fitted with standard 15 inch alloys. Also will the settings need to be different when I fit 18 inchx8.5 inch AMG replica alloys ?

hi took my car to MB for a four wheel alignment check. i find the car tends to pull slightly to the left & the steering wheel is crooked (to the left, not dead straight) when u are going straight (ie motorway, flat road, no camber). they said they took the car out on a test drive and...

Does anyone know somewhere within spitting distance of Mid Herts (all of Hertfordshire, Luton, North London etc) where they do a 4-wheel alignment and really know what they are doing?? ---------- I have a nasty twitch from the rear of my 1997 E320. Everything has been checked several...

Hi, My steering wheel is pointing to the right when I'm driving straight. Not life-or-death, but irritating. No worries, thinks I, phoned the local tyre place to book in for laser alignment, and they said they won't do it because they might "upset the adjustable camber", and I need to o to...

It was pointed out to me today that my headlamps do not seem to be properly aligned . . . i.e. the reach is not what it should be, and there is no definition to the beam at its furthest reach. In fact, most of the light seems to be lighting up my front wheels ! Checked the electric adjuster...

Hi, The tracking and wheel alignment possibly needs to be done on my W126 S Class. I have found a place that has laser technology to do this and they provide before and after pintouts. However, they have warned me that on the older prevsious generation Mercs, the rods, cambers and...
