    The outcome of a wheel alignment

    After having this car for over 6 months now i thought it was time to get some new tyres on the front.

    I got an alignment done at the same time and here is the results



    So there you go, the reason my car steered like a bucket of s**t.

    I also took some time on sunday to make use of some Zymol cleaning products and wax. I think the car came up pretty good if i do say so myself!

    the toe total was -17.2mm, when it should have been +1.1mm, meant that the car didnt steer very well.

    thanks, it took me 4 hours of cleaning, polishing and waxing to get it looking like that!
