    As above really, any garage that does camber adjustment and the tracking in Dublin, preferably northside.

    If so any idea cost wise?

    cheers.

    Dave McCann Tyres in Coolmine Industrial Estate are one of the best. BTW, camber is always adjustable and may point balljoint wear.

    Agree with the referral to Dave McCann.

    Don't agree with the statement that camber is always adjustable. I'd advise that the opposite is true, camber is usually not adjustable, and when it is adjustable it can be a major undertaking, involving suspension strip downs, shim replacing etc especially front wheels.

    Don't assume you'll get sorted easily and you won't go far wrong.

    What's the car?

    Typo on my part. I meant to say that camber isn't always adjustable.

    Its a Mk4 Opel Astra. The front is adjustable fairly easily as it has two bolts holding the base of the strut to the hub. The bottom nut can move from left to right which changes the angle of the hub. I'd much rather have it sorted professionally however for peace of mind.:)
