Title: Wheel Alignment in Northants
Post by: Guy90 on November 07, 2004, 20:01:48

Anyone know anywhere in the Nothants area that has the kit to do 4x4 wheel alignment. Kwik Fit and the like don't.

Any reccomendations?

I use Southam Tyres, Not in the Northampton
area but they are well worth a visit. :D

They are a 4x4 specialist and have all
the hook on lazer wheel alignment kit :wink:

Ed,

If you do go, Ask them for a look round there tyre store.

It's about the size of a football pitch and covered from floor to ceiling with 4x4 tyres. :shock:

Got my tyres from Scots off the Rothersthorpe Rd.

The tyres have been balanced and seem fine to me.

Thanks. Might try the one in Kettering as it's close by.

Sam,

Gary doesn't do alingment. Only balancing. Would be handy if he did!!

Southam tyres did mine.

That half degree adjustment made all the difference and I don't keep scrubbing out the n/s front anymore.

Recommended.

Hello,


Urm, had a slight leak in tyre pressure, went back got it sort no hassle, but found out that Scotts just have the bog standard alignment machine. :oops:

Also, after they put the tyre back on it has twice as much of the lead weights than before, so Guy, did you get it done and where please, as though it feels ok to drive, think I should get it sorted properly. :wink:

Thanks

Helen

Another place in Northants is Loughran Brothers at Towcester. They have a tyre fitting bay and they also keep loads of Land Rover parts in stock. I usually get my parts from them and they're reasonably priced.
