Alright gang, was a victim of a bit of road rage the other day which ended up in me trying to escape a difficult situation (like ratty every sat morningLOL) which involved me hitting a kerb at about 45 degrees at speed.

Basically it did this to the wheel and tyre.



Okay so I had to get over to Somerset to get to my friends wedding so took car to kwik-fit. Cue one quote for

Proper laser alignment with adjustment of the cars centreline is well worth it as simply tracking does not do the job all 4 wheels may be in line but not in line with the car's centreline.
These people do the biz.

I'm a bit concerned that the rear wheels are toeing out so much? I went over a hoofing great kerb with both near side wheels, stayed inflated though.

The rig the guy put on looked like a disco show, lights flashing everywhere!

I think I'll have to get it laser aligned - think I'm due a visit to Leicester so I'll get the god to look at it when he's finished with all the other bits!

looking at your print out its been put on some pretty good equipment probably john bean which is owned by snap on
your nsf camber is just out of spec which if really bothered you ,you could change either or wishbone/strut your overall thrust angle on the rear is fine which would be your main worry your rear cambers and toe have the usual 306 readings which are a mile out (306 are always like this so i wouldnt worry .
it has been knocked out by a lot but he has been able to pull it in but you may have bent that wheel so that would be my main concern
once you sort that it will just probably been in your head for a while!
