    I have no idea what the going rate is but if it is done right then I would not have an issue with price.

    What car have you got?

    Its the same machine that does all cars, even if your car only has front adjustment, all 4 still need to checked as they can still be off.

    Did you have it done?

    Wasn't on this car but €20 in both garages. Last time was in Balbriggan Service Centre but they've since gotten a 3d machine for it.

    DC5. I said I didn't need the rear done, there was no deviation on the rear when it was NCT'd.

    I checked my receipt and I was charged for all 4 corners.

    Before hand I had to have the wheel slightly right for it to go straight. Now with it straight it's going slightly right. :pac:

    I'll check the tyre pressure in the morning but I only did it 2 nights ago so it'd still be fine.

    You sure it's not the road camber putting it off?

    Well I saw the car in but I wasn't near it myself so I don't know what the camber/castor etc where but if wither was slightly off it can cause what you describe.

    Do you have the same tyres all round?

    Doing only front wheel tracking on a car like a DC5 is pointless IMO.

    Positive. Road was leaning left, I let go and start going right. Took the bend perfectly. :D

    It's not pulling, so it's fine. If it passes the re-test I don't give a monkeys, I can live with it. :)

    Ah it's fine. It's kinda like Dyno V Dyno. There's always going to be deviations between these kinds of machinery. The NCT machine said the rear was fine but front was off but if your machine said the rear was off aswell then maybe it was.

    So long as it passes the retest, I don't mind. The car is driving fine and it's not pulling the arm off me.

    If you say it's best having all 4 done regardless of what the NCT says, then I'll take your word. :)

    See this is the problem...the NCT didn't test your alignment, they just test the side slip, which, if off, could be caused by several things.

    Although the NCT slip test said your rear axle didn't 'slip' to one side, doesn't mean the wheels are aligned correctly so that's why we'd always align all 4, and the fact that a car like the DC5 is all about handling.

    I watched that bit being done. So if your wheels were wet enough, they could actually slip while it's throwing it side to side and that'd mess up the readings?

    Anywho, shall check the tyre pressure tomorrow to be double sure.

    Don't suppose ye have a wrench in there that'll fit BuddyClub coilovers? :pac:

    Ah I know that feeling.

    I had €200 saved up for the household charges that I needed to pay but my camera broke so I had to go and buy a new one. The HHC is now being paid by dd mandate instead :D

    Would ya not consider laser?
