Wheels in Motion
« on: 23 July 2009, 18:45:33 »
Just back from a 210 mile round trip to see Tony at WIM to have alignment sorted and two Falken 452's fitted. Was well impressed with whole thing. Tony went out of his way to explain what was needed to be altered on my Elites alignment and what had caused the wear on the o/s front, namely the camber being way out. After adjustment and having the Falkens fitted to replace two Michelins at the rear, it was immediately apparent on setting off back to the coast that the whole feel of the car was much improved, steering much more positive and the steering wheel in the centre position at last after the toe setting was corrected.
Like other forum members, cannot recommend Tony's outfit too highly. The tyre price was not too bad either compared to some and it was very convenient to get both items done at the same time.

Yup, well worth the trip.

Just a shame you have to travel to get this level of understanding and service.

I highly recommend him. About a 100m round trip for me, but worth the time and petrol without a doubt.

In fact my MV6 is going down there in the next 2 or 3 weeks for its annual tweaking

When I went there, nothing was tweaked.

Despite the fact We'd changed the wishbones, and adjusted the camber with a spirit level - everything was within limits, the only adjustment made was front tracking

Thanks for your mileage commitment wingman and indeed to others who have made that special trip.

The Omega chassis does have it's problems but it's such an easy fix providing they follow the 1 degree 10' wim rule  ::)
