4 Wheel Alignment Advice Request

All,

I need rear wheel alignment due to uneven tyre wear.
- Have been quoted £280 for this by a LR dealer for all 4 wheels.

Should I be going to the local 4x4 specialist or does LR have some magic that I should be availing myself of?

With thanks in advance

This will give you the nearest garage to you with Hunter KDS machine which is what Land Rover should be using. I had mine done on my M3 in perth for £50, you get a full print out befopre and after etc.

Paulo that is the system land rover will be using mate or SHOULD be using.

It gives accurate readings on your suspension geometry, it is know in the track car world etc as GEO.

The technician gets a reading of your current settings and then makes the necessary adjustments according to the readings.

You receive a printout very similar to the 4x4 info display on your RR but it gives your settings and green squares for ok.

I used to have a file for my M3 but i cannot find it to post the KDS print out.

Where about are you in Scotland?

You will end up with this

The red shows where the adjustment is needed.

This is not my car but an example i found on google just to illustrate what i was talking about.

Chris mc is spot on!!

I felt something wasnt right about a month ago, popped in to my local McConechy's - £60 for front & rear geom which included the minor adjustment to the N/S/F.....due to the volume of round a bouts on my daily commute!!

Full print out of before & after as pictured above - all perfect now.

I do have a company account with them so the price MAY be slightly discounted.

Chris. Everybody is clinging on to their sanity….Some just hide it better than others….
