Do I need a new alignment?

Hi

My car had a wheel alignment 1 year ago with the stadard 15 inch
wheel.

Everything is fine.

But now I have put on a set of 14 inch wheels ( 6 inch)
Would I need a Wheel alignment again?

thanks in advance
David

Hi Dave,

New set of tyres scrubed out $160 upwards

Wheel alignment $35.00

You do the sums

Oh and your camber might need adjusting to suit wider tyers anywaynn[ Edited on 1-7-2005 by beerdoc ]

i suppose it depends on how many miles and pot holes/gutters you hit in your driving time..
is the steering wheel pulling to the left or right when you drive on a nice clean stretch of road??
probably wouldn't hurt and they can check ya front end etc while its there..

n thats weird i just read his post above again but the stats say it doesn't exist.. huh?
damn gremlins in the system.. 😵

I get mine done every 6months at a min, sometimes more often depending on what type of racing iam doing.

If its a L bug and th bushes are old you may get alot more movement and may be worth while replacing these before the wheel alingment.

THnx for replies so far.

My car is a L bug. It drives perfectly straight with the standard wheels.

Its just I got these secondhand wheels with tyres on them.
( not new tyres)

I had them balanced, and put them on.
But I wasnt sure if these 14 x 6 inches being wider then
standard 15 inch steel rims would make a difference, and hence
needed a alignment.

Could someone tell me is there any special place to get a
wheel alignment in sydney .


The car drives ok with these 14 x 6 . may be I just pay for the
alignment . not sure.

thnx
David

No need to just because of the wheels. But if you want to make sure, Hornsby Wheel Alignment knows how to do VWs
