It's the same thing mate,Although tracking a modern vehicle with 4 wheel adjustability is generally called allignment. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

Eurocar parts or GSF are likely to be cheaper, although that was about the price I paid for them on my 205.________________________________________ 1992 Onyx Black 205 GTI-62005 Honda S2000 (Sold) 2002 Audi S3 (Sold) 2005 Clio 182 Trophy (sold) |

Gman, I mean like getting the car tracking done, like 4 wheel alignment, I rang up STS tyre pros, and the guy said £44.95 and any adjustment at rear will be extra £20 per adjustment, I also rang up BLACKBOOTS and they said £40 + vat so it comes to £48? Told him its 306 and he's like it's normally just front that need doing, is this pricing right cause I'm sure should be like half what they told me cheers guys and if you lot know someone close to Buckinghamshire or Hemel Hempstead, way give me a shout |

No they will last a year at best before the rubber boots split and the ball joints wear out. Better off with Lemforder or Delphi or TRW. Don't go for Q-drive from euros either their not worth a w**k.________________________________________ Black power baby!
