Four wheel alignment after console bushe replacement ... is it worth it?

Featured Replies

Our Fabia vRS is going into Camberley Service Centre to have the front lower arm console bushes replaced tomorrow. This is being done because the bush on the drivers side is perishing and the bush on the passenger side is starting to split. Anyway, the question is, is it worth getting them to do a four wheel alignment, at an extra cost of £40, after doing the job or are we better off saving that money and putting it towards getting a full geometry check? I have used a place called Blackboots to get full geometry setup done on my Evo VI and I was very impressed with the job they did. My concern is that we will be doing a 400 mile round trip to Plymouth over the weekend and having recently paid out for two new Michelin Pilot Sport 3s on the rear we don't really want to damage them.

Defo worth it as long they knowwht they doing. Please ask for print-out and caster reading as its getting missed out a lot and its quite important if someone drops subframe to do job like on yours.

That's just it really, this is the first time I have used them to do any work in about 6 years (when I used to have my Octavia vRS) so have no real idea if they do know their onions when it comes to alignment. I will ask them to do it and ask for a print out. If I am not happy I will take it to Blackboots. Thanks dude :thumbup:
