Wheel Alignment
How often should it be checked - if ever - on a GU? I never bother on any of my Land Rovers (whether coil or leaf sprung).

Re: Wheel Alignment
Ek het my alignment so jaar of wat terug laat doen en dit was effe uit gewees. Die diagram wat Autoquip gehad het om die verstelling te doen was egter anders as die wat op my Patrol is, maar die tegnikus kon dit uitsort. Hy het toe gevra dat ek net by Nissan moet uitvind wat die korrekte suspensie moet wees. By East Rand Nissan wou ek met die werkswinkel bestuurder praat, maar hy het gesê dat ek die voertuig moet inboek dan sal hulle kyk of daar fout is??? Ek het die Patrol na so 10 000 km, wat die rowwe paaie van Angola ingesluit het, weer teruggevat na Autoquip en die alignment was baie min uit.

Re: Wheel Alignment
Did my suspension lift 20 000 km ago. Checked the alignment last week as I reckoned it may need attention as the suspension should now have settled. No adjustment required and as it was the same place (twt fourways) they had the record of the previous settings. It hand changed by 100 th's of a degree. Some of the trips done included the wild side of the Transkei and Kalahari.
But balance and rotate those big wheels and tyres every 10 000 km. That was horribly out after 10 000 km.
