Wheel alignment

Just had all four tyres replaced due to the front ones being slighty bald on the inside of the tyre so im thinking i need to have the tracking done. Whats the cost of this nowadays and where is best to get it done in kent? Couple of garages ive called wont touch it

Find a local place with Hunter alignment machine on http://www.alignmycar.co.uk and ask them if they have a diagnostic tool to put the Sport in "Tight Tolerance Mode" for 4 wheel alignment. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Depends on the location/garage and how much work is required. I think last time I paid £50 or £60 for checking and a little adjustment at my local garage with Hunter machine. I get it done twice a year when swapping between summer and winter tyres so never requires a lot of work. I know it is cheaper in other parts of the country though.

They didn't have the equipment to put the suspension in TTM but I have the IIDTool for that and used it to select TTM before alignment. Having a full tank of fuel is also recommended to achieve the correct weight during the process. You get a printed before and after report to illustrate what has been done. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

I paid £60 for mine yesterday. 4 wheel alignment done with Hunter equipment. I'm in the shed, I'll be back in the real world in a minute.

£165 sounds like the sort of price a LR dealer would charge.

I think Kwik Fit has the Hunter system in a lot of their places now. Normally I'd steer clear of Kwik Fit but it might be useful to get a cheap check done. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
