Angry Re: 4 wheel Laser Alignment

Hi all

Having re-occurring problem with my 53 plate Abarth..... It has now been back 8 times for steering problems and is due in again tomorrow.

The problem:

1) car pulls to the left
2) resistance on the steering when straighting
3) unstable steering at times, which has nearly caused three accidents

the car has repeatedly been in and they have checked the tracking to which they say is ok....they have replaced the power-steering motor, the angle sensors and numerous diagnostic checks to all which they say is ok, but the problem still persists.... the front set of tyres were showing wear, both on the inner edge and had to be replaced.

Me thinks i'll see what they have to say tomorrow and if no joy take it for a full geometry/lazer alignment.

Has anyone else had the same or similar problems......?

Re: 4 wheel Laser Alignment

Why leave it so long? Been in 8 times, surely after the first or second you would have found a decent garage that does proper laser alignment...

Any, best of luck with the garage.
