Wheel Alignment Question

zom247 · 19 Jul 2016 at 17:25

I had my Fabia vRS serviced last week and the garage did a health check and one of the things brought up was I needed wheel alignment. However, I'm PX'ing the car in about 6 weeks time so is it actually worth me having it done? I'm going to Manchester next week so I'm thinking of erring on the side of caution and just doing it, a local garage is doing it for £32 but not sure if it uses the Hunter system I've read about.

Don't bother.

If you didn't realise it needed doing, it can't be too bad! It'll be fine until you PX it

Not true, it could be way out but if it's even both sides you might only notice the severe shoulder wear.

But going through tyres like no tomorrow due to the scrubby would be noticeable, no?

I basically mean that if the steering doesn't pull, and the tyres aren't bad, don't waste your money.

Unless you're going to do 10000 miles in the next 6 weeks, leave it alone. With it being that little out of alignment, no one would notice.

The alignment isn't good, one front is toe in, the other is toe out. However I wouldn't waste your cash when you're trading it in so soon.

Yeah the dealer won't even notice or both to check tbh
