tyres, tracking and bushes - penguin
My astra diesel 1.7 has just come back again from going into vauxhall. We need to get 2 new front tyres have the tracking done and have been told the bushes are noisy on the front drivers side. I'm going to get the tyres today and have the tracking done today but I can't afford to get the bushes done until next month. Will this cause any problems or does it all need to be done at the same time?
Thanks

If the bushes are shot then there is no point in doing the tracking as there will still be movement in the components.
If the bushes are renewed/disturbed then the tracking should be re-done.
So the logical sequence should be Bushes - Tyres - Tracking.
However if cost is an issue then you could go Tyres - Bushes -Tracking but bear in mind that the tyres could be subject to unecessary wear until you get the rest done.
