    I went to Jax to get mine done. I was given a fairly comprehensive "result" sheet that was similar to BlackVr6ix's. However, I'm sure they'll give you a results sheet if you ask for one.

    What was the deal with that abundance of toe-out on the right-hand front wheel?? I had a similar problem with massive toe-out but that was only cos I was replacing my suspension. You could actually physically see both wheels point outwards My bad for not marking the lower bolt mounts before taking them out.

    I would never recomend getting a wheel alignment at a tyre service. I have seen so many bad things and lies. Suspension specialists are the only way to go.

    They had the factory setting in their lookup system. the toe was due to my mechanic not knowing VW's, throw him an alfa or a fiat and he can work with his eyes shut. I'm guessing he screwed up when re-assembling after replacing the lower control arm bushes.

    Got mine done today. Fair bit of toe on the right front which has been corrected.

    Steers, brakes and pulls away WAY better now
