Hi Skeets,
How much did they charge (was it a full 4 wheel alignment) & how long did it take them (while u wait?)???
Are you going to Goodwood this weekend (they've got the original Mako shark there - I want to see Jeremy Clarkson's reaction!!!)?
:cheers:

Re: Going in a Straight Line at LAST! (Skeets)
Cool. I am still working on mine. It pulls right on acceleration and left on braking and wants to go right all the time. The drivers T/A is out of adjustment space. I used a VB poly bushing kit which comes with lot of shims and make the bushing stack fat. I am beginning to think that my PS was never adusted correctly either.

Re: Going in a Straight Line at LAST! (UKPaul)
mine's steered badly for ever sting-76 ..don't give up!
Paul, they charged me £157 and checked all four wheels. My fronts were WAY out, and the backs just slightly.
I dropped it off at about 8 and it was done by 1pm.. though i actually came back to london in the mean time.
It doesn't steer like a mini or anything, but i wasn't expecting it to be pin-point ... and i've got pretty big tyres too, so that doesn't help .... but the difference is dramatic.. it was a real handful before.
Not planning to go to Goodwood as i've gotta work this weekend.. would love to see that mako shark though... and REALLY love to see what Jeremy Clarke's WEARING! ... i'm guessing Jeans that are too small perhaps? .. please take pictures!
