Hi All,

I'm about to get 5 new tyres for my D4. I have a few questions about wheel alignment.

Got an alignment by LR a few months ago and the car still seems to be tracking fine. Do I need one?

I understand that a D4 should be aligned in Tight Tolerance Mode and that requires a special bit of kit. Are there any places in Brisbane, outside LR that can conduct this?

How much should I expect to pay?
Thanks,

Kev.

I don't think tight tolerence is needed now on the D4, just road height. I'm sure one of the techys will confirm or deny.

Thanks Ken,

Had a guy at Bob Jane who was ex-Fulcrum Suspension state that....but you just never know. I had some work done at the 'latest and greatest' BMW place at Daisy Hill and when LR checked, it was out by 6mm. They fixed it for free. I saw the report, so it was no BS story.

I thought that the problem was the car trying to constantly self level. That should be minimal on their alignment platform but I imagine any movement would affect the alignment.

What's the truth?....I dunno....thus the thread. :)

Cheers,

Kev.

If your worried about height moving, put hazards on and open door or tailgate.
The stupid thing will think you've got a flat and changing the tyre.:o
