Posts: 1,240 Thanks: 35 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | 4 wheel alignment at fiat right went to find out about 4 wheel alignment today, £90 plus vat, are they taking the pee?? then i got a load of waffle off a guy who said it allows them to adjust the camber of the fronts, whats he on about??? Tow i can understand,,,, but camber,,, errrr its a fixed camber mate..... is it really a 2 hour jub too just to set trackrod ends?? if 90 quid is the going rate i'll stick with manual type that most garages have for 20 quid...

![]() | Re: 4 wheel alignment at fiat Try www.protyre.co.uk They only charge about £13 and you get a nice printout. It was so cheap I had mine done twice - once before spring change - and once after ![]()

Posts: 2,831 Thanks: 135 Trader Rating: 2 ![]() | Re: 4 wheel alignment at fiat There is a camber adjustment option in the top mount, not visible until you pull out the whole thing - but it is worthless as you can't adjust camber on the hub... Coilovers often have camber adjustment visible from the engine bay at the top mount, but still, the top mount of the Stilo is pretty strange, as it is not fixed to the bodywork at all. It is just pressed up there and with a nut holding it so it would not fall out when jacking up the car (or jumping). M.

![]() | Re: 4 wheel alignment at fiat One good thing that came out of my spring changing saga is that whilst the car started off at near to end of tolerance on camber (presumably out of factory), it's now (after changing springs twice) well within tolerance ![]()

Posts: 1,240 Thanks: 35 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: 4 wheel alignment at fiat Cheers for the advice guys!, just got back from national tyres, tracking set... it was towing out -7 degrees , drives dead straight now, no pulling to one side and steers ten times better! and 4 wheel alignment for 25 quid!,,, bargain and in regards to the rear torsion beam he checked that too.. said it was fine... the axles are set in relation to the chassis, not the bodywork! so all good!
