If you are at Sydney go to Hesman Steering at Princess HW, Sydenem. [tb]
No point having awsome balancing and alignment equipment if the people using is not good or the equipment not calibrated.

very hard to control... especially in the wet...
going 50km/hr and cant even stay in the lane...
but if you drive faster its lil bit better...
later that afternoon i had to get home so i went on the freeway... some guy pulled me over coz i had sparks coming out of my wheels...
i got out and i had all the sides of my car covered in rubber bits... my tyres were pretty much metal wires...
finally i replaced my power steering racks, arms and bushes...
some other things too...
cost about a grand at pedders...
ill scan and upload my wheel alignment report soon...
geezus!
110 for a alignment :s
Just got mine done, they took they're time. 1.5hrs.
Adjusted toe and camber front and rear. Taking into consideration load.
Fiddy Dorrah all up.
Was your car in an accident before..? My bro in law is a panel beater sometimes I take cars for him when he's busy always the damaged ones you have to pay a fair bit more to have the alignment done.. last car I owned that was in an accident cost us $250 to have the steering problems sorted..Quote:

He's extremely busy though so go down and get a quote and appointment a couple of days to a week before you actually want any work done...
He has always taken care of my cars as well as the ones from the shop never yet in 7 years had a single problem with a car he's worked on...
nah no smash ups in my baby just got taken for a ride by a shit mechanic i've never used before.
In that case you got charged Pedders fee and then a little on top for the mechanics pocket... should have asked for original receipt from the people that did the work... or better yet don't get mechanic to do your dirty work...! lolQuote:

You will always pay more for a dynamic wheel alignment!
