Really can't work this out as even if the alignment was wrong i don't think it would be that bad, as dazzler said yesterday the wheels may have a different offset (and you haven't noticed it before) so why not try swapping the front wheels around and see if it's still the same
Hermiewrx Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Hello all, Just wanted to say thanks for a great day. The cars looked great with some very impressive figures. Gary.....sorry I missed your run. The figures look good for a standard car, did the guy talk you through the graphs??? Cheers All.

deani_age Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Where are all of the pictures then? Can someone use Photoshop to make my wheels look clean(er)?

shaun_at_tdi Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I did notice that the guy's put the wheels back on as they came off. Putting the wheels back in the original order is something that is done deliberately. Sometimes you can get people with different offsets and widths from front to rear so we make sure it all goes back the way it came off. Since you've checked them over visually and nothing appears to be wrong, is there a chance that you've got a wheel bearing gone? It doesn't happen often but i have seen it on occasion... Failing that, perhaps a ball joint or something? Tell you what, if the visual checks are revealing nothing and all the obvious stuff appears to be in order, see if you can get the car back over to me at some point and i'll put it on our chassis allignment tool and do a geometry roll-out. If somethings wrong, it'll tell us straight away but more importantly, it'll possibley tell us where the issue is. I'll do this FOC.
