Wheel alignment - Recommendation

Post by MattH »

Went to see Roger last night at Monkfish Performance just outside Milton Keynes.
he did a top job on setting up the Challenger, using his magic machine with lasers and sound effects from Close Encounters!

Seriously, it is a great bit of kit in the right hands, and he has set camber, castor and toe and can measure to an accuracy of 1 minute (60th of a degree).

It turns out my car was pretty good on castor anyway, but the toe was too much in, but the difference in the way it drives is phenomenal.

Roger really knows his stuff, and spent ages getting it as spot on as you can with Mopar technology!

Then he did James' Demon, which was completely out due to changing just one lower ball joint. It shows that changing one part can upset the whole set up.

Even if you think your car "drives OK", this is well worth getting done, as the difference is quite striking. My steering is firmer and has alot more feel, purely from alignment, and does not need a gentle lean on the wheel to keep it straight. It should make the 800 mile trip to France a lot more comfortable.

:iagree: Top job once again Roger, Thank You and totally recommended

I changed both lower ball joints and the torsion bars have been swapped for two sizes up, hence the need for checking the front set up ;) :D
