col666 Posted October 7, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment
