    Car is booked in for an alignment on Tuesday. Time to get camber and toe etc back into spec. Will post feedback afterwards.

    Well got the alignment done today. Rick is a top bloke (just like Jimmy) and his guys know their ****. Suspension is back in spec and if my car can get up onto the alignment machine no worries, then nobody else should have any problems unless it's properly dumped.
    Hopefully now I can eek another 1000kms out of the old tyres before it's time for a new set.
    Cheers,

    I did when I called to book the car in and he mention you, so I will take it that he will look after me.

    Thanks again for the plug

    I told Rick that you'd plugged him Jimmy. I reckon he's going to have an influx of VWs soon all saying Jimmy sent them. I hope he buys you a drink or two.

    Mum's forester needs a wheel alighment, and Subaru wants to charge her $90. I'm guessing these guys will do a better job for less?

    Also I got a new front right tyre on my golf today, they said the fitting and balance was free. Is a balance the same as a wheel alignment? It drives straight now at least..

    Thumbs up

    Well just got back from Ricks, on the way home that car did feel better, The tech said that I will notice any difference over a longer drive. So this afternoon I am off to the sunny coast and will see if I notice any more differences.

    Nope. Balance is the weight on the rim and will stop wobble at high speed.

    Alignmnet means the tyres point straight when the wheel is straight (basically). Also aus you might want to get a cheap set of kumhos if u need new treads. the ku31's have gotten some good reviews and are priced about right

    Hey Guys,

    Anyone used Ricks recently? I'm interested as I'm going to need an alignment and balance soon.
