Thread: Wheel Alignment for D3/D4/RRS is not that simple!

On the next corner from Trivett LR service, Parramatta (River Rd West), is a tyre place (whose name I can't remember ). I think that they may be part of the Trivett Group. It may be worth contacting Trivett LR service and getting contact details.

I only used them once, but was very happy with the results.

Best of Luck,

I recently had mine done at my local dealer (Belbowrie) after I replaced both front lower wishbones.
They did a fantastic job as the car now tracks straight and true, where before it had a very slight tendency to pull left.
It proves that the correct way is TTM and LR specs. I was given the alignment before and after print out.

Greg at Cremorne Prestige in Artarmon can sort you out.

Had the wheels aligned as it would veer left when the steering was held straight or there was no light force to the right. Very very annoying

Two alignments and a swap in front wheels and it's still veering left...

Asked about whether the workshop had a TTM - "a what?". nuff said.

Probably have to take it to a dealer but I've had mixed results there as well.

I have gone to Pacific Motors Pymble for this to be done and they say they know about TTM. I trust them.

When I queried Tyrepower in Artarmon they said they would put it in TTM. I am not sure whether I trust them.

I agree with Andrew - Cremorne Prestige (actually located in Hotham Parade, Artarmon) would know what they are talking about. I would trust them.

Of course. I used Greg with the D2 once. I'll give him a call.

..end result, back to Land Rover for another alignment......hopefully they work it out..

OK, my car is fixed.

Taking it to someone who know these cars is essential.

Learner was right in his post above...

Note that I've been to two dealers and a specialist LR 'professional' who often gets recommended on this site (above), non of whom picked up that the caster was out by 180 degrees and the geometry was setup all wrong. They all tried to compensate for this basic oversight.

If you're in Sydney, take your Disco to Jim and Glen at Tyreright in Parramatta (who Learner recommended above). Worth the drive.

My Disco tracks perfect now and they've won a customer for life.

Shame I had to spend my hard earned on the others...

hmm well isn't this interesting...
I will be needing a wheel alignment soon due to replacing a front wheel bearing. I have just spoken to a tyre company that "specialises" in land rovers with EAS and was emphatically told that TTM was not required and in fact TTM is detrimental to setting up a accurate wheel alignment?? They also claim they do about 20 vehicles a week with EAS.....hmmmmm comments???
