I took my car down to Fulcrum today for a wheel alignment. Below are a few things which they advised me on. Would be good if you guys can confirm whether it is good/accurate advice or not.
1) From a previous wheel alignment on my car you can see the front left and right side caster, king-pin and included angle are quite different. They showed me under my car where the k frame has moved around 5mm backwards on its mount. Is this a plausible explanation for the above and therefore worth fixing?
2) Re the wheel alignment itself, they were going to charge me a few hours labour on top of the normal wheel alignment rate itself to do a proper, 'full alignment. This involves loosening off a large number of the suspension arms. As my car has stock suspension, I wasn't aware that doing this for the majority of the suspension parts would allow for any sort of adjustment at all? What do you guys think?
Thanks
