So as i see it its £37.50 for the full geometry check and then £18.50 per adjustment so is that £37.50 + 37.50 for both front and rear camber, and 37.50 for front and rear toe ! Or is it 37.50 for front camber 37.50 for rear camber etc etc et Cheers

The rear adjusters will be seized so if you think the rear needs adjusting then you could remove the complete arms, clamp the in a vice and apply LOADS of heat to get them moving. Count the threads carefully as you unscrew each end of the adjuster then grease the threads and reassemble. This could save time and money at the tracking place.

The best thing to do is email the guy, or ring him (make sure you speak to Tony) - he will give you prices for best and worse case scenerio... ...really helpful and friendly chap.

Jul 2006 at 10:05 The rear tracking adjusters are difficult to heat properly due to access. Penetrating oil freed my seized ones off - I sprayed some wd40 every week for about 4 weeks...
