Hunter alignment at kwik fit

[Steve Pugh]

That’s exactly what happened to mine and still the same. My car handled perfect but I got some winter tyres put on and got the alignment done and it’s been terrible.

So it is the boots that put the icing on the cake then?

@Steve, I would take it back and have the alignment redone……… just a thought

Got this done today and a garage that uses hoffman one.

Got anti roll bars fitted so asked for a full geometry set up.

Few bits are reading different to my first post compared to hunter alignment I got done at Kwik-fit fit. It certainly feels about different.  Steering wheel is still a bit offset to the left which was the way before it went in 🤦🏽‍♂️

My thinking is that the numbers on each side should be the same?? like the camber should be the same number like how the toe is the same,  this right ?

A bit yes.. I was turning and went over a jump and it pulled quite harshly as well. Back before I had some issues 3 months ago I didn’t have any.

I drive to work now and the roads are terrible.  Had everything checked day 2 garages and said everything is fine and suggested wheel alignment even though Kwik-fit said it was fine.  Got it done today because I has the anti-roll bars fitted.

Quite annoyed the steering wheel is still off to the left a bit. When you’re stationery it looks straight but when you drive it’s to the left a bit.

I think they might have put on the hardest settings on the roll bars. It does pogo a bit more

Anyone else use Kwik-fit to check alignment?

Went today and seems the price for doing the rear has changed. £60 for front as normal but to do the rear as well they said £266..

Used to be like £120 ish for front and rear.  Just the fronts please.

Had mine done on the Hunter a couple of weeks ago. Pretty much as good as it gets and handles great with the new tyres.

Don’t get me started on Kwik- Fit, I had the unfortunate experience of working for them briefly and know how they operate. Take your RS back and get the steering wheel centered F.O.C.

I got F+R alignment done for £50 at an independent but had worked there for 6 years before I retired.

Aye the steering wheel feels slight off to the left..  Last couple of years I’ve used them all those readings were green but now some a red and they say they can’t adjust them.. I’ll need to get it done at one if the other garages I used, it’s just a pain because they only work Monday to Friday which means I need to take time off work.  Sometimes don’t even get a time slot just have to leave the car with them.. And they’re not close about half an hour drive.
