I talked to a guy from Meng in the main street, he was very helpful and i brought up wheel allignments and he replied it can be done in about 2-3 days. Pedders in north mackay have a huge wait, 1 week +

and from memory i think an allignment is about $75 from Meng.

Ok so i need to replace the bolt in my front left, rear castor bar (behind the disk brakes) and it's basically impossible to do it from home as the original bolt is extremely tight and there isn't enough room to get a good go at it from being jacked up.

I need some advice as to who to go to to get this done,

Nissan have said "we don't have the equipment" the chick at the counter must have been drunk.

Pedders want $140 P/H and can't do it until next week sometime, although it should be roughly an hours work i still don't want to pay that much. I haven't tried anywhere else yet but i wanted to know if anyone has had this done before and could recommend a place or an individual to do it.

thanks

Just think about this. If someone does a job well, everyone wants to go there, if someone else doesnt, then there not going to have a huge line-up of customers

Personally I'd rather take it to neither. Would like if I knew someone who worked at a mechanics shop with the alignment tools to do it. But I dont know of anyone.

Not trying to detur you from Meng's, but just saying that something that seems like a good thing can turn out to be a bad thing

I went to pedders last time, and it seems to have helped my tyre wear so cant complain to much. However I dont think they took any camber out of the rear.

So I haven't spammed the thread with photos for a while so I thought now would be a good time. Spent some time today straightening out the diffuser after slamming it on the gutter at south Mackay KFC the other day (or at least I think thats where I bent it up)

Gave the car a wash and had a play with the camera for the first time in a little bit.

I really like taking photos with alot of depth. bit like this where only one section of the photo is completely in focus

Anyway. Did a quick before/after photo of what can easily be done with 5 minutes in photoshop. Removed stone chips from my front bar and did some processing. Yes yes I'm bored on my days off........

Impressive man, in 3 months that's a really big difference. Also did you go through four ways at like 6am, I'm almost 100% sure it was your car that i heard when i first woke up haha.

haha no 3 months into owning it. so about 5 years ago...

And i was out at about 6:30 but not through four ways
