wheel alignment specialist eastern melb

Post by morkz »

As the title says i need someone to do a proper wheel alignment ever since i was fucked around with my suspension from ARB head office wheel align has still never been right. i went to my local guy who normally does a good job but he said somthing with my LTR's. :?:

dont know whats going on just want to try someone new.

my main problem is that it's still pulling to left i know the road have a bit of camber to them but this is ridiclous.

If you have a return to centre steering dampener

Check to see if its in the centre and not doing the pulling or pushing

alot of both

they got quite a few things wrong and tried sorting things out. In the end they wanted another $120 for wheel alignment.

because my dealership didnt tell them that my the size of the tyres were going on.

Either way ARB still managed to fuck up fitting things like rear bar bull bar side steps and the LTR's they left the braded line flopping around in the wheel well.

Either way spent somthing like 8k with them and still want me to pay for it fuck them i say

You need to talk to someone higher up in ARB managment.
I had issue with auto locking hubs after locker instalation and after run around between ARB and Nissan,ARB desided to changed them under warranty.Nissan hubs are prety exy,but they did it to keep me happy and have me back as their customer.

I had ARB Richmond fit a front bar and set of IPF lights to my previous 4wd from new. I had an earth short with the lights after a few months. The diagnosis was the ARB fitter had simply drilled a hole in the firewall to feed the wires through and didn't use a grommet. The wire sheath wore through and shorted to the chassis.

What tyres are you running Cooper STs?? etc What size?
LTRs wont affect this. Some Nissans have always been sensitive to rd camber esp when changing tyres etc. Like some just vibrate after a lift and others dont.
Some just accentuate the slight camber or truck tyre grooves more than others, esp large ones.

hey Bazzle

I'am running 35" MTR's, i get mixed things from ARB head office one guy said the LTR's cant handle the 35's and the general manager said it should be in issue after they fixed some things up.

I'll see what happens i might just take the GU to ARB sth or Nth and get them to look at it. Hopefully anything like this should be still under warranty

I had the same problem, full OME setup and 35's went to Total Tyre Service in Oakleigh cos they're the only ones down this way that can align 35's. They made a huge improvement to the feel of the steering but it still pulls a heap to the left.

They said that based on the figures the machine is giving them, the steering is setup fine so what can it be??????
