Oh well, if Kwik Shit say it's all right it must be.
I've got my Heynes around somewhere- what figures are you actually after?
...in words of one syllable...
HTH,

I had an Escort that was doing the same a few years back. I fitted new everything and had it tracked by a garage using an old optical tracking set up
and it was never a problem after. If kwik fit keep selling him tyres they are on a winner. Apparently the computerised set up has to be recalibrated
monthly and it costs them so they don't always get done.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

most vdubs are adjustable for camber as well as toe and if your kwik fit is anythin like my local they wont even have heard of it never mind know how
to check it

I just need the toe out figure, and the camber angle, if its in a haynes manuel !!
and thanks if youve got it
Kwik poo (i like that!) have mucked my next door neighbour about for the last 3-4 months, and yes he has been buying 2 new front tyres every
month!!!!!!!!!
poor lad is 18 and knows as much about cars as i know about brain surgery.
He has been told to speak to me in the future by his Mum, on any car related problem

My local tyre dealer say this
"once a kwik poo customer allways a kwik poo customer"
They are shite and will have you running back to them with there no quible warranty every weekend.
They once lowered a car of mine onto a jack wrecking the new exhaust they fitted the weekend before,they were diagnosing a wheel wobble (their own
tryes)at the time.
said it was the rack and not the lumps the tyres were growing LOL
