Looking for a wheel alignment in Newcastle

Post by Brown Bear »

Guys, as the topic says...

The wagon is a barge to drive - floats all over the road and is beginning to be too much of a handful, even for me...

I'm after someone who knows their stuff and will get it right - too many times I've had a wheel alignment "done" and not been much better off.

Cheers,

Matt

Thanks.

well not quite newcastle, but the one i take my cars to is hunter valley steering and suspension ... in the bottom of metford, they seem to know their shit and they will actually adjust the camber on a normal wheel alignment unlike others i know.
Regards,

Sammy.

I'm waiting as well to see if he does a good job on Brown Bear's car,
cause I need one done on mine before Yamba :oops:

He should get a few old holdens there in the next few weeks :lol:

No adjustments this time - it's been adjusted and de-adjusted previously and is basically too worn. I have a complete column out of a 95,000 mile EK that I'm cleaning up to put in at the moment.
