• Misaligned headlights 6 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  Since headlight alignment is part of the MOT, how come so many cars have dipped lights aimed too high? Is it deliberate? -- L\'escargot.
• Ford Focus st line 1.5 - Pothole damage 7 Jan 2025 (Forum)
  Just to be sure I  took it to my local tyre dealer. He concurred that the tyres were okay BUT said the rear axle was out of alignment and recommended taking it to a Ford dealer. Local Ford dealer referred me to a 4 wheel alignment garage and car booked in for Monday morning.  Sounds like it is going to be an expensive repair.
• 2008 VW Polo (9n) - Steering Not Returning to Centre 12 Mar 2019 (Forum)
  It's more noticeable when going slow (like in a car park) and not so much on the open road. I'm having 4 new tyres and wheel alignment later today. Is it likely to be the alignment considering what work has just been done? The tracking feels fine...doesn't pull etc. although in a straight line the steering wheel is more off centre now than it was...but drives in a straight line fine with minimal correction.

• MR2 - Tyre problem 9 May 2001 (Forum)
  She took the car to her local garage (independent) and he said that she should take the car to the Toyota dealership because, in his experience, he had not encountered this type of problem before (he said it was not the tracking). She then took the car to the Toyota dealership and they performed a 4-wheel alignment test and discovered that the front wheels were out of alignment. However, although the dealership have done this, she is still worried that there may still be an underlying problem because of the nature of the wear on the tyres.
• Rover 75 Tracking 6 May 2005 (Forum)

• Brake judder! 6 Oct 2022 (Forum)
  Went back to the garage again, they confirmed that I need new disc because of the old suspension has effected the brake disc alignment.   He wants £145 with vat! Is that true the bad suspension will affect the disc alignment to become unsmooth brake? I am going to do myself to save money with Hayne manual book, do I required new pads?

• Toyota Auris - Car Vibrating 20 Apr 2018 (Forum)
  Hi all,am after a bit of advise.I got hit in the rear end by a 3rd party,there was some damage to my rear bumper and I noticed some vibrations/shakes in both my steering wheel and the car in general.The 3rd party’s insurance arranged for a repair to be done through their recommend garage.A couple of days ago I got a call from the repair garage advising me the insurance aren’t going to cover the repairs because the garage have advised them that in other for them to troubleshoot the problem of the vibrations the first of all need to do a wheel balancing and possibly a wheel alignment,if that doesn’t work they would need to do some further checks.The insurance company had refused to authorise the wheel alignment or the balancing as they feel it’s not accident related and it’s just wear and tear.
• Nissan Almera (1995 - 2000) - 1998 1.6 Uneven wear on one tyre only 17 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  I've got some kind of alignment/suspension problem, the front left tyre wears down on the outside, all other tyres are fine. I had the alignment checked by several garages (including full 4 wheel checks) and everything is apparently lined up correctly.

• tyre fitting and balance 12 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  I had 2 new front tyres fitted to my van yesterday at a main dealer nearby, and whilst it's been a few years since I fitted tyres and balanced them myself, I understood the yellow dot on the tyre to be the lightest point of balance on the tyre, and therefore to be aligned with the valve, not opposite or at random, and that any wheel weights added to balance the assembly should always be at the same point on the rim, not around 90 deg to each other, as is evident on my van now. ( I realise inner and outer rim weights are not usually aligned) Before I go charging in tomorrow to get it done properly, can anyone confirm please that technology has not changed in my absence, and balancers can identify a number of areas that need a weight, and the spot codes are the same?
• Ford Mondeo Estate 2004 - Flywheel and Clutch Replacement 11 Jan 2015 (Forum)
   I dont have the tool to do this, when i look at haynes manual it doesnt say much about this, in fact the only alignment tool it mentions in this process is the one used to centre align the clutch friction plate.   So few questions: 1. is there any form of alignment i need to be mindful of when taking old flywheel/clutch off and replacing with newer ones?
• Not a fan of Fast Fit chains but......... 7 Dec 2016 (Forum)
  Last week, my Merc Specialist noted feathering on the inside edge of the front tyres of my A180. Recommended wheel alignment (which they don't do). Rang round the usual suspects this morning including two Independent Tyre outlets for a quote for front wheel alignment. Prices ranged from £27.60 to £39.99.
