    Wheel alignment

    I've just been doing the ring around for pricing on a wheel alignment, range from $55 to $120??? When queried re the high price of one of the quotes the comment back was that they align the rears on Land Rovers therefore it takes longer. Now, correct me if I am wrong but the p38 does not have adjustable alignment for the rear.

    On the p38 that is correct. Toe in and out are the only adjustables. Castor and camber cannot be adjusted either, almost had an argument about that at Pedders.

    However, any landrover with independent rear suspension will have an adjustable alignment on the back too, maybe he was thinking of the l322?

    Make sure you get the print out of the alignment, as a LOT of alignment places simply put a few mm of toe in on all cars. 0.6 to 1.8mm toe out is correct for the p38.

    I mentioned one of these Trackace Laser Wheel Alignment Tool | eBay in another thread and got less than complimentary remarks from those who do it with strings and chalk marks... anyway it does work very well indeed.
