Here's the update. I'm deliberately going to avoid phrases like "corners like it's on rails" and "night and day different" and try to put into words what's changed.
For context, I'm a staid, 57 year old, grey-haired bloke who has never felt the need to own a performance car. I had to sell my...
I'm sitting in @BognorMotors reception area, waiting for the Hunteralignment and road test to be done now they've fitted their BMVS coilovers and a set of Supermetal Compass wheels to my T6. I'm so looking forward to the drive home!
Better pictures and a drive report to follow.
Well i replaced my lower front arms with the Meyle HD and really like them but i have a question.
I have had my tracking done today and the front toe adjusted by a Hunter 4 wheel alignment machine, the rear toe was within tolerance on the machine but seeing as i am going to replace my rear arm...
Obsolootly fontostic ar ay it! Up the Villa
Shenstone trade tyres isn't too far down the road from you, great folk with a specialist Hunteralignment place in the unit next door..
Hang on a moment..
Now correct me if I’m wrong, jumping from one post to another post. You are saying to one person that you don’t invest time and money into developing due to you not doing those “super low” drops, yet you had to go out and spend money (investing correct me if I’m wrong??) into...
...if necessary so you really notice the differences, and make your own mind up what works for you.
And of course once the correct kit is chosen and after fitting, we make sure you can get the best out of it with a full Hunteralignment, which is key to the suspensions best performance.
HTH
Our alignment bay is now commissioned , we didn’t go the hunter route , it isn’t flexible enough for some of the low vehicles we want to be checking , and sometimes we do settings outside normal parameters , the new system allows us to program our own settings . It’s brilliant at setting up the...
Back having it redone now. The garage were very confused and first disagreed with me but we got there in the end.
The misunderstanding on their part was how the parameters of Hunter changed with load vs no load for the T6.
Thanks.
@Lee540 - Are you lowered at all? Did you ask for "No Load" setting?
A bit of night time reading here:
https://www.t6forum.com/threads/lowering-and-wheel-alignment-issues.11095/
This is high on my list of things to do! My steering wheel sits slightly offset, I want that fixing and to know that everything is going forwards and not in anyway sideways.
Hi
I had mine on the hunter today at my nearest Kwik Fit. The lads we really good and helpful. I've recently had the van lowered on Solow Lows and on the lowest setting. They did the alignment on full load as they could find the VW code (usually a sticker in the vehicle apparently)
I was...
Just to add my own experience which is similar to your last alignment @fezza68
I had Solows (at full height) on my T32 LWB for just over 18 months and must have covered ~ 15k. It was Hunter aligned by @BognorMotors and even though the rear camber was excessive without the adjustable bushes...
Hi, I originally read this thread a few years ago when I lowered my LWB Kombi 6.1 T32 40mm with Eibach springs and put 20 inch wheels on with GoodYear F1 265/40 20 all information I got from this website!
2 years later and approx 16k miles all tyres are mid way worn, 4mm (I drive like miss...
I would get the wheel alignment checked at a garage with decent equipment (Hunter or similar). Otherwise your new tyres will suffer a similar fate of rapid wear of the inside edge.
...and the subframe is bent, unlikely as I’m sure it would be obvious from its history. I had my tracking done at Bognor motors on a hunteralignment system a couple of years ago now and the wear on all the tyres is so even it’s definitely worth it. I’m sure with the locks you could disconnect...
...interior fit outs.
We handed this vehicle back to the owner this week with the following work carried out;
ST-XA Coilovers with Hunteralignment
Powerflex rear spring mounts
Carpet lining and insulation
Full sound deadening
Led interior lights with suede headliner
Suede lined roof in load...
