Wheel Alignment And Balancing

[Nozila]

hi guys,

can anyone recommend a place that does a good job at wheel alignments and balancing at a resonable price.

cheers,

duc.

I had my series 2 wheel alligned (all 4 corners) at Action Suspension (on Deloraine Ave, Edwardstown off South Road) and was really pleased with the job and the customer service. Cant tell you off the top of my head what the price was but it wasnt anything rediculous.

Good luck

north - i think pedders on G.Grove rd seem to be good. Guy there reckons they can setup your car up (camber/caster/toe) for what u want ie Mallala/drift etc...

Hey Duc,

Dave at Wheelworx on South Rd can do your balancing, but for wheel allignment and balancing i would reccomend you go see Scotty at AVS in Edwardstown, he does all of Markys stuff and Johny Jspec and a heap of the drifters, does good work!

thanks darren,

ive got AVS's number and address here but i dont know what their prices are like (probabrly best to ring myself and ask i know). although seeing as they have market themselves as specialist in drift/street and what not indicates to me that they "may" be expensive.

btw the camber on the front is very out of wack, does anyone know if they can you adjust to as close to 0 as possible without aftermarket components. as my sil80 currently has stock shocks but not stock springs and its causing my the front cambers to be rediculously out of alignment.

You cant adjust the camber on the front without using an aftermarket bolt kit.

Hi Duc its probably in part due to the GAB swaybars (if you still have them fitted) I remember when I put them on it cambered out the wheels a fair bit. Id be happpy to swap my stock 32 ones over if you'd like they should fit? he he

hey matt, how you going mate? it isnt the rears, its the fronts as they have quite a bit of negative camber on them. would you believe that it is now one colour? isnt that a surprise. btw, you should come on a skyline cruise sometime since spring is here, would be ideal weather for it.

yeah thats what i though. i might need some stock springs to see if it rectifies the problem by any chance.

you really shouldnt pay more than about $30 for a wheel alignment, most places do it in about 1/2 an hour for all 4 wheels. one place tried to charge me $110 for a wheel alignment after some suspension work, i was quick to tell them i would be taking my business elsewhere

i payed ~$40ish at the tyre place in the city across from stratfields a while back. and i think that was with sau discount too, supposively.

"hey matt, how you going mate? it isnt the rears, its the fronts as they have quite a bit of negative camber on them."

yep I know the front has a upgraded swaybar too.

"would you believe that it is now one colour? isnt that a surprise."

sweet glad to hear it my skylines becoming a bit of a drift pig now

"btw, you should come on a skyline cruise sometime since spring is here, would be ideal weather for it."

sounds good any sideways action happin soon? I should have my power up sorted by then Ive already stuck the 2530 on just getting the cooler fitted this week Im hoping to make around 170 till I get a remap and injectors then Im chasing 220rwkw sic hows the 33 going? what sort of powers it making now?

33 is in the shed with some electrical issues, nothing major.

2530 on rb20 with a target of 220rwkw's? that should be achieveable given right supports im sure you know this anyway. friend has same turbo on his rb25 and it made ~260 rwkw's.

[mr_rbman]

Scotty at AVS will look after ya!

Check out Sydneykids forum on suspension upgrade in the Stagea section - has a deal going at the moment for suspension upgrades for Stages, GTRs and R33's. Decent pricing for camber components...
