Had my WALK and bushes fitted today.  :driver:

Didn't realise that JKM done the tracking too after fitting, so it's saved me a trip to Denmead.  :pomppomp:

Did they just do the front wheels or a full laser alignment for all 4 wheels? I was told by there receptionist that they only did front tracking!?!

Also what was their service like and how does the car handle now  :evilgrin:

I've used JKM a few times now and always excellent service from them so no need to worry there.  :happy2:

Yes, Kate said it's the front wheels that were tracked so shouldn't need to go for anymore alignments.

When I first got the car back it felt like the steering had gone a bit heavy, don't know if it's because I've got used to it or was imagining it but seems to have gone away now. I haven't had a chance to have a proper drive yet but the car certainly seems happier going round corners and in/out of roundabouts, seems to be more 'stable'.

It usually takes a few miles (10 miles-ish) for the suspension to settle in after tracking, Mandy  :happy2:

The WALK tends to make the steering a bit heavier.  :happy2:

....My WALK was fitted at the same time VWR did my KW suspension, so I didn't notice.
