hi all i know it has been covered but i thought there was a pinned section on this lol

anyway does my 05 vrs fabia need 4 wheel alignment ? cheers for ur help

Look in the incredibly useful fabia topic, the wheel alignment thread was moved in there along with the wheels archive and a bunch of other stuff.

Mines having 4 wheel computerised geometry check/print out/adjustment tomorrow afternoon, £80 and the guy said it could take up to 2 hours....

You want someone who can adjust front toe / camber / caster if needs be. Most places just do the toe in my experience. If you are near Leeds get yourself to abc car service, they know their onions.

Hunter wheel alignment is the best. I had my Octy done and it was dead straight so no adjustment and £0 to pay. Nice result.

You can only really adjust the front end on the Fabia, but a 4 wheel alignment is about more than just adjusting the wheels.

There is no point in adjusting the front end using 2WA kit if the back wheels are out due to wear in suspension components (bushes etc.). 4 wheel alignment will highlight any problems with the back axle, for example worn bushes, bent cross beam and other problems. The back end cannot be adjusted, but at least after its been on the 4WA kit you'll know for sure that all the wheels are pointing the right way.

Getting mine done for free on Friday

cheers found it lol

thanks for the reply's should have said i am in northern ireland lol so a lot of those places r a bit far PMSL

My vRS is back to as near as possible factory settings, the guys were great and I have a 3D colour view of the cars suspension and all of the figures printed out before and after adjustment. It wasn't cheap @ £84 but the car felt much better with no pull to the left anymore which is brill.

The guy who worked on it said for 141k miles all the suspension components are in excellent condition, the rear axle isn't adjustable on the Fabia but it was nearly spot on with the factory settings.

I'm about to shell out on a full set of rubbers (tyres, that is!). Can anyone recommend a decent company that can check my alignment and bushes in the herts/n. london area?

Cheers

Try and find a specialist that sets up cars propely and can adjust front caster and camber. If they tell you that can't be done then run for the hills!!!

It took me 3 attempts to find someone who knew how to use their hunter machine propely, including an accident repair centre who put my mk1 fabia in as a mk2??? And then told me my car was fine even though its turned out that its got a bent axle.

The other place put my car in as an RS even though it should be in as a G04

Find a specialist that sets up performance cars all day long anything less your chancing wasting your money like I did on the other 2 occasions.

thanks for all the replys i have found a guy that builds WRC rally cars and and its booked into morrow morning for a complete geo set up will fire pics up the mara cheers

Re: "Try and find a specialist that sets up cars propely and can adjust front caster and camber."...

Anyone know a company who does this in the herts/beds/n. london area? Pls.

Bump!

I have a few questions which I can't find the answer of.

1. Rears cannot be adjusted manually and can only be done by adding shims?

2. If rears are static unless worn or broken parts. A 4 wheel alignment should throw this up? Would it show accurately which part of the rear is gone?

3. If rears cannot be adjusted, does this mean a normal 4 wheel alignment will do the job once you check the rears are fine?
