Getting adjustable rear camber arms installed, anyone know how much centreline suspension charges for wheel alignment and adjustment of camber arms?

Or any recommendation of places for wheel alignment?

Am so sick of this negative camber tyre wear!

Ask centreline how much they're gonna charge you the second time when you go there for something else and they tell you that your suspension set up is way out and asks you who did it.....he wasn't happy when I told him he set it up.... Or at least charged me a ridiculous amount and claimed to have done so

ôoooooh. tis a flamin mongrel when that happens. well within your rights to tell them to reverse it, as you didnt authorise the work.

edit* may or may not be within your rights in australia......

I went to Centreline a couple of times.

Service was excellent, suspension setup was perfect and he didn't charge me for any of the work in finding the fault.... only for the setup, install and parts.

Couldn't have been happier

What if he'd given you a wristy at the end? Note this did not happen to me

do rate centreline. after getting an alignment at a standard tyre/suspension shop and receiving the figures, then going to centreline to have it double checked cause it was weird... centreline showed me there was nothing wrong. and they said some places dont calibrate their alignment gear as often as they should.

Chris is a good guy, they know their stuff. You dont go there expecting a cheap bill but provide quality work and really good feedback on setups. Will be taking the gloria there to get the suspension sussed out fo sho.

Centreline did $1500 of suspension work for me, which I'm pretty sure was quoted to be around $1000. When I went to pay I asked about the SAU Vic club discount and he said that I should have told him upfront about that (so he could budget for it?), that the time they spent on my car was more than he charged for and that they always look after anyone with a Skyline anyway.

They did good work I think, but too far to travel and don't fancy those bills. I go to Traction Tyres now. Had a reasonably priced alignment there and the guy who worked on my car spent 10 minutes explaining what he did with it, why he did it and the limitations of my suspension setup etc.

    • Once the belt slips it can very easily cause a cascade that encourages more belt slip. Check the pulleys carefully and see if the grooves have cupped. If it has it's time to replace the pulleys. If the rubber has glazed you also need to replace it. Shouldn't be shiny. From the factory there's a lot of exposed fibers(?) on a v-belt that will go away as it's broken in but some should still remain visible without sticking out significantly like a new belt. I went through this on my dad's Camry recently. It would keep slipping even after setting the tension higher, only solution was a new belt.
    • Belt polished and/or pulley(s) glazed. Rub pulleys with sandpaper, replace belt.
    • I've also got a quick jack. I would never get under my car again without using it.  While it might be quicker to use a jack and stands, it is such a quality of life improvement that I wouldn't have it any other way now.  How much slower the quick jack is to setup will be based on your circumstances. Can you leave the jack rails on each side of the garage? Can you leave the hydraulic lines attached? etc.  If you can drive the car into the garage and simply push the jacking rail thingos under the car into place, it is super quick to setup and use. But if you have to pull the pump unit out of storage, attach the hydraulic lines, wheel out the lifting rail thingos.... yeah takes a bit of time. Having said that, I would still prefer that to using a jack and stands lol. 
    • Sydney Tools have them for ~$3400. More than the Quick Lifts but these seem better. https://sydneytools.com.au/product/quickjack-7000tl208240v-5175642-7000lb-110220v-portable-light-duty-truck-and-passenger-car-lift-system
