Hi All,

On thursday i have a busy coupe day \:\)

I am booked into motormech on Thurday morning to get my blistein shocks and eibach springs fitted.

After this is done i am driving to Gloucestershire to visit Power Station to get it rolling roaded (4pm appointment).

Now i dont think motormech can do tracking so on route to Power station I would like to see if i can get my tracking sorted.

Any recomendations of where to go near motormech ( or near power station i guess) - im not too fussy i guess.

Looking forward to it all :-)

Thanks

Dan

I am sure Motormech will sort this for you. I think they use another garage near by for doing MOTs. I would give them a ring to see if they can help.

Don't think this will be a problem, last time Paul changed my wishbones, he got my tracking done for me. \:\)

Motormech has basic tracking equipment (used to make sure its pointing roughly right when they do steering racks or track rod ends)

When I had a track rod end fitted, Paul set it to parallel, and when I had it checked half an hour later, it was exactly parallel.

Paul should be able to set it accurately enough for your run on the rollers, but its always worth getting it sorted on a proper laser alignment system

Powerstation has a very high tech tracking set up so you could kill 2 birds with one stone.

Make sure you book it in for the tracking though, oh and I doubt it will be cheap either \:\(
