Take it to a different, reputable, alignment shop. Did they put it into tight tolerance mode when doing the alignment?

Update of 4 wheel alignment. The garage who soppose of done it twice .....did not even loosen any bolts on front or back. As I took it to another proper land rover specialist. And he showed me underneath where it should have been adjusted ."" Had not been touched in a long time .. so peeps please do not use the lido garage at blackhall rocks hartlepool.

Hi,

You need a garage with the Hunter kit, and knows how to use it.

Cheers
JC

I've seen quite a few people asking about alignment and the giveaway is usually price.

Tracking, Alignment, Geometry adjustment etc can all mean the same thing, but often "tracking" just means adjusting the front toe.

A proper alignment on a D3/4 will take a fair few hours as they're so adjustable and that's assuming no bolts are seized or worn.

Whoever is doing it needs to either be *very* good with a bit of elastic and a DTI gauge or have a computerised alignment system. It doesn't actually matter if it's 3d imaging or prism type, just so long as it can account for runout and is understood by the user.

FYI "Hunter" are just one brand of camera based system, there are others that work on the same principle.

Would highly recommend Les Potts in Sunderland for future work. I had them do my EPB and an alignment last month, and it's spot on now.
