Wtd: MotaLeira 5 wheel tracking service
Anyone know of company (not kwikfit type outfits) that will be able to take their time and adjust my car properly?
I did use an old system I had but it needed calibrating and is now sold.
I just want to make sure everything is ok. It feels ok, but I want it spot on.
In the South London/ Surrey area prefered.

The proper way to do it. Centre the steering wheel/rack and locking it in place.

Don't know of anyone round your way, but Procomp might be worth a call or AB Performance.

You need to look for a crash repair body shop for a proper job.

Spot on - but to what?
Is there a way of calculating all the correct settings?

I know exactly what I need for the settings. Not calculated but an educated guess based on other similar cars

Try ADR in Maidstone. I used them to set up my geometry and they use full blown electronic laser equipment and did all 5 wheels

Couple of hundred pounds roughly and about 4/5 hours to do it properly

The places that I have seen good write-ups about are Wheels in Motion and
Centre of Gravity
Never used either and they are not close to you. The other people would be Parr who do a lot of Racing Porsche but I don't know if they would
be interested.
