Guest Sakura Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 There seem to be questions about this on a regular basis, with members trying to find somewhere to do this properly rather than just the usual tracking or front wheel alignment. Good places with member's recommendations seem to be few and far between, and so have lengthy waits for appointments. This website is recommended by the Lexus Owners Club, and thought it might be helpful to post it here. Wheels in Motion There is a lot of technical information which I found really useful and helped me to understand exactly why it is so important.

JohnA Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 A handful of KwikFit garages also do computerised 4wheel alignment. They are not flexible though, so if you want your own angles set, they'll probably refuse to oblidge. They only do the standard manufacturer's settings (which are not too bad anyway) Give them a ring and see if there is one near you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chiefvinso Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Hyeline in cardiff use a company near to them and all I can say is that 4 wheel alignment rocks, the printout shows toe in, out, camber etc. The car was much better to drive, I would recommend a 4 wheel alignment and although at a tad over £100 it was well worth it.

JohnA Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 camber, caster and toe ---- £50 inc printouts before and after. I guess prices vary a lot, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Feltham Tyre Centre near Heathrow have just done mine - Caster, Camber, Toe, front and rear. Usual computerised stuff. I had too much camber and rear a toe problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Has anyone tried the Lance W settings? http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/la...ment/index.html I had those settings applied but my tyres are eating away unevenly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I took a printout of the 'lance' settings and tried to bribe the KwikFit operator, but he wouldn't budge. They are not allowed to set by degrees or mm, but by variance compared to the preset factory settings of the model. Booga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Optimum settings will vary with rim size/tyre size and ride height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
