| Had alignment done! now skittish handling help! Recently had new wishbone bushes fitted,garage said they had done the aligment but did'nt feel right also steering wheel was of centre when driving straight. So i went to a tyre place where i asked them to do a 4 wheel aligment. The front was ok but the back was not inline with the front's, so they adjusted it. Now the steering wheel is straight but the handling is shocking!!!!  feels skittish! and not planted at all like it did! Why would this be? Is it worth trying another garage?

| Re: Tracking/aligment!!! ?? The tracking is still out, take it to someone who knows what they are doing. The rear alignment shouldnt need doing unless the beam is bent, or the bushes worn.

| Re: Tracking/aligment!!! ?? Thought this might be the case! this really is annoying!!!!!!!!! I thought the idea of 4 wheel aligment was to aline all four wheels, is it not? They adjusted the front to bring the back wheels inline is this not correct then?
