Tyres and tracking ???
« on: 19 March 2012, 18:08:14 »

My friends got a omega with 16s on it he's not long brought
It he took it to a local garage (select a tyre) for its tracking to
Be done he told me he had it done ,but they said everything was fine
It's all tracked up ??they said it was the tyres that was throwing it off
Is this true or is the company just trying to get him to buy new tyres of them
Anyone had simler prob? ,bucko

Could very well be true. But what they are not telling you, or don't understand about the omega is, they don't have the equipment needed to set the omega up.

Very well covered sungect this. So I'll leave you with;

See wheels in motion web site.... And have a look through the guides/FAQ sections. Search for camber too. It's very important on this car, along with suspension faults and failed bushes.

See how you go. :)

There is a good place Mark DTM and Andy VXL use in Liescester.
Personally I dont rate Wheels in Motion and I am not the only one either that has not been pleased with their work, before I get slated.

Had some agro too. Getting the steering wheel level mainly. However I would certainly suggest Wim on average will give a far superior service than most, given most place only know the factory setting which we all know to be hopeless.

If you can get to Nigel Laings (??is it??) up that way. Then fair enough.

Important thing is to get the correct and appropriate set up for the car. That being full geometric set up. Nout less, or problems will occur through out the cars life.

Yep, Fleet Fit in Loughborough, best to visit them on a weekday if possible, they are well versed with the Omega's setup and use the Hunter geo equipment.

a trip to WIM is a MUST! I wasted £250 on tyres for not going sooner!
