    Hi my toyota yaris 2001 1.0 failed this thing in NCT today. Front axle score 16.4m/km. rear axle 0.0 m/km. plus they observed that both rear tyres are more than 6 years old.
    Kindly advise how much it would cost to get this stuff fixed? Any recommended place near deansgrange nct centre?
    Attached is nct report
    Thanks a lot.

    The alignment of the front wheels is out of tolerance, (probably from clattering through deep potholes) which is a specialist adjustment that is best left to a tyre replacement station or garage that has the right equipment to do the alignment.

    Around here, a full alignment check is usually no more than €40, it may be less, and it should only be adjustment, if there was any significant wear on a joint, that should have shown up elsewhere. Some places will do the check without an appointment if they're not already busy on tracking checks, others will want an appointment made.

    The only thing that may cause hassles is if one or more of the bolts that hold things in place are seized, which can happen, but the fitters that do alignment are well used to dealing with that, and it's rare for it to be a show stopper.

    The tyre age thing is an advisory only, not a fail, so that's a make you aware of it thing only, and need not be worried about as such.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    I actually wanted to know what are the correct pressures. There is no manual or sticker in the car specifying pressures.

    I think the recommended is about 32-34 psi on them though you may want to check the owners manual if you have one
    and im surprised there is no sticker on the door jam or fuel filler cap like most cars
