Do you have to pop the ball joint on the hub end each time to adjust the tracking or merely loosen and twist the pinch bolt tub between the inner and outer track rod ends
That :y but there is two pinch bolts on the track rod. No need to pop ball joints.

Taken from Wikipedia

The last Cavalier was introduced in October 1988 for the 1989 model year, being Vauxhall's version of the Opel Vectra "A", again available as a saloon and hatchback. There was no estate version in the Opel line-up, and as the Vectra was not going to be sold in Australia, there was no prospect of Vauxhall turning to Holden for a replacement. The Vectra name was not adopted at this model change as Vauxhall feared reviving memories of the much-maligned Vauxhall Victor. Early Victors had been viewed in some quarters as excessively corrosion prone,

I thought I'd heared it somewhere

Yup Mk3 Cavalier was the Vectra A
Mk2 Cav -  Ascona C
Mk1 Cav -  Ascona B
Thanks :y I heared that it was called Cavalier in the uk, to avoid being compared to the victor. Do you know if thats true? :)

Lovely pictures Optimist!! :y :y :y

Personally I love the Vauxhall Victor and the Austin Seven the most, but they are all gorgeous! :-* :-* :-* 8-) 8-)
Is it true that the mk3 cavalier was called that and not called the vectra A as it was in Europe, to avoid association with the Victor?

Forgive my ignorance, but what is WIM? :-[

Wheels in Motion.

They are based in Chesham, and really know their stuff when it comes to geometry settings (camber /toe) on a car setup, they use a custom setup on Omegas which takes into account the fact they are old.

It transforms the handling!

We've had all 3 of ours down there, and they are my first choice for tyres and alignment. Its about a 100 mile round trip, but its worth it.

Some members here do 400 mile trips just to see them  :y
Wow they must be good then. Its hard to believe that there is nowhere nearer that can do the job as good. Chesham is more than 200 miles from us :'(

THey also have several franchise centres that use the same settings, lukily for us up north there is a centre in Bolton (Nigel Langs) thats probably about 50 miles from you Lisa. Many of the members up here have used them including a couple of the Mods and really seem to rate the service. :y
Ah thats better, Yes Bolton is a lot more like it. We are just outside Chester. Thank you :)
