Tracking?

Postby gfalls » Wed Jul 23, 2008 12:50 pm

I'm getting the ARB bushes and droplinks done tomorrow. Do I need to have the tracking done at the same time, or do I leave it for a while? Ta..! :D

It's kind of a different job - the tracking is best done by the guys with the expensive alignment kit. If your guy has this and can do both then great. Otherwise it's fine to leave it and get the full tracking done at another time.

The tracking also goes out after a while, so should really be done every couple of years anyway, irrespective of the other suspension bits that you do.

Drop link and arb bushe will not effect the tracking. But if you think it needs doing make sure it is a full 4 wheel laser alignment

Just be sure and go somewhere good.
Very annoying otherwise...

Cheers guys..! I had it done 18 months ago, and they did a fine job. So I'll be taking it back to them. :D
