WHEEL ALIGNMENT
does anyone know of a good wheel alignment place in Centurion?
I want to take my Hardbody in for full alignment, castor, camber , ride heights etc. It has on a set of BFG's that have done 70k and are showing wear on the sides and I want to get the alignment sorted before fitting new BFG's.
Most places just do the Toe in/out and call it wheel alignment!!!!

Re: WHEEL ALIGNMENT
From what I understand there isn't much adjustment that can be done on a Patrol, due to there being a solid front axle. Castor can as far as I know only be adjusted by fitting different offset bushes. Camber is a fixed thing that cannot be adjusted. Ride height adjustment, only new or different coil springs will help here, and that only leaves toe in/out adjustment available. They can fit a spacer on the front left ( I think its called a Panhard arm ) metal arm where it is bolted to the chassis, that houses the castor bushes, a little forward to assist with the "pull to the left issue. Mine was done at Dunlop Zone in Alberton and it did help a little.
Please correct me if i'm wrong.....

Re: WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Hi Cedric
I think it is his Hardbody he wants to do the wheel alignment on, not the Patrol.
Cheers

Re: WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the info, took the hardbody in on Thursday and hey it is sorted out ( the RH torsion bar was over adjusted) now it drives straight .Nice to deal with people who actually know wheel alignment and don't just set the Toe.
