Advice needed - in France


David Brown

Recommended Posts

In Colmar in Alsace and mountains and high temperatures have hammered my nearside front tyre as alignment must have been out. Need to get it properly aligned and called into Speedy Tyres who, with a sharp in take of breath, said they couldn’t set it parallel as “specialist”. Didn’t think anyone here could do it. Think they just didn’t know how as it was “automatic”. 

Need some suggestions apart from buying some string and finding some bricks

Yer camera is upside down mate ... or Derek's Ozzy pal is taking the pics *biggrin*  Glad you got it sorted and full marks for taking the CSR.  It brings back memories of 60th at Donington when I spent a day searching for a replacement front tyre which got trashed due to poor alignment.  Good old Quickfit at Ashby De La Zouch had one ... but couldn't put my CSR on their ramps ... too "specialist" they said, so had to get Maggie to lift it up while I removed the wheel *laugh*

I see Jonathan beat me to it ... as usual ... I think he must be hard wired into his laptop *biglaugh*

Unfortunately report above was premature. He couldn’t or wouldn’t split the ball joint. Did a minor correction on the tracking but that’s it. Hopefully if I keep of the alpine sections I’ll be ok till I get home. Don’t understand how previous front tyre wear was fine but now well out and, as my French expert pointed out, there is 15mm of thread protruding from the wishbone on one side and 10mm on the other.
