Wheel Alignment....Get It Checked

This is just my opinion and a recommendation. I recently had track rod end and various other bushes renewed so I knew a wheel alignment was next on the cards. As it was only the ARB bushes replaced on the rear I assumed no correction would be needed on the rear, how wrong I was as both front and rear ‘toe’ needed adjustment. Not sure if work had been carried on the rear before I owned her or whether it just happens over time??. £60 on a hunter alignment is money well spent as my new boots should wear evenly, I hope Exclamation

Watch out for uneven wear as the bushes can settle, then need realigned.

After any alignment I have, I just check the tread depth (using a cheapo guage) every few thousand miles. Easy to do and easy to spot if wear is uneven. Saves getting garage/dealer/indi involved and can be done any time. Thumbs Up
