Let's dismiss Kwik Fit immediately - this bunch even tried to tell me I had to change the cam-belt on a NIssan Primera SE which is chain driven!!

Find a good independent with a true 4 -wheel rig - Hunter make some of the finest. More important is the operators' inclination to to do it correctly.

You have to get the rear straight first otherwise you're just aligning to an imaginary line. This often involves unbolting the rear suspension totally to adjust camber and caster angles (yep, toe is just the start of it!).

After that's done you can the get the front in line with the rear. Result? A car that goes arrow straight mile after mile with hands off the wheel. Even camber follow is reduced.
