    I went there a few years back after seeing recommendations on here, with a vibration in the steering wheel at speed. They balanced the wheels and off I went. Made no difference. Fearing a buckled wheel I went to Discount Tyres.

    Really helpful lad there told me that instead of removing the old weights and starting from scratch, someone (Mc Canns) had just added more weights to the wheel. He also mentioned that the alloys needed spigots and offered to source them for me, although I had them at home. I've used Discount Tyres for everything tyre related ever since and always found them great to deal with.

    Both of these places are near me so I'll drop into each tomorrow and see who's cheaper.

    Regarding the subframe been dropped out, it would be the reason for the steering being of centre (slightly) yes ? Should a 4 wheel alignment do the job ?

    If you tell them when you drop in the car that the subframe is potentially not correctly aligned then yes they should be able to sort it out. You may end up having to pay a bit more than the usual alignment cost due to the extra time involved.
