col666 Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Just a warning for anybody thinking about using Target tyres in Perth for there geometry/alignment etc DONT!!! They set mine up after getting the teins fitted, over the next few days the car started handling like a 3 legged goat so I took it to a garage to get it up on the ramps to see what was wrong....the front n/s camber bolts were finger tight and the rear o/s ones were also loose!!! there was over an inch of play on the front wheel. I have video evidence of this on my mobile if anybody would like to see it tomorrow! The car was taken back to target and re-aligned and tightened up, handling still wasnt right so was put back on ramps at garage today and guess what? front o/s was loose! Target were called and they werent interested! The problem here is that the mechanic/fitter/gimp at target doesnt have enough strength in his useless little body to tighten these bolts up and judging by there reaction today they dont give a s**t if they are putting unroadworthy and dangerous cars on the road. So thats a warning to you all. Although most of you already knew how crap they are. Thank you and I will see you all tomorrow, although i wont be driving my scoob as I have had enough of it and will be putting it off the road until the new year. Col.
sheep Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Colin thats shocking !!! What made you take the car to them in the first place?
