Guest stupotdextor Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Hi guys, anyone living in the bristol area know of a reputable tracking camber set up person that can sort my vr out. Car pulls to left quite bad. bushes are ok. had tracking done 2ice and it still hasnt helped. its lowered on konis i think all round, done before i got it. on my third set of tyres in 8 months. Its getting rediculous now. much appreciate any advice. Stu &| Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 most likely its your camber that is out (it will need to have been reset after the susp was changed). a lot of people don't realise golf's have adjustable camber as most cars don't. you'll have to hunt about as most tyre places only do tracking.

Peakz 0 Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I remember reading somewhere that Toyota/Honda garages have a quality Beissparth rig and that they charge far less than most specialists to do the job too. Give 'em a ring. Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 stealth are having a new 4 wheel alignment machine fitted in a week or so... mine is pulling the left quite bad atm too.not very close to Bristol though!If you cant find a local specialist VW will set it up for you but it'll probably cost a bit more... prices vary a lot expect to pay £45-£100 depending on where you go Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 TSR is fairly near bristol, they may well do it....but they certainly won't be cheap.if you get really stuck, feltham tyres is just of J3 (i think) of M4 and charge £50 for full set up. thats where i have mine done, but is a fair treck for you.

VR6Rich 3 Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Im in Bristol and I got mine done at a place called Protyre. The number is 01179 540123. Cost me about £45 IIRC. Tracking and camber on a laser set-up. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest stupotdextor Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Hi Chaps, well i have good news, I took the car to Interpro, located in Thornbury. They charged me £60 plus a tenner for VAT. The camber apparently was ok, the tracking was out, which they set to parralel. They also straightened out the steering wheel, Its much better, on some roads it doesnt pull at all, and on some there is a slight pull to the left still but nowhere near as bad. Their technicians seem to think that someone has curbed it at some stage so something maybe bent, i'll keep an eye on the rubber for a few weeks to make sure its not scrubbing. Thanks for all your advice so far peeps, hopefully will meet up at a show sometime this year. 8) Link to post Share on other sites
