where to get rear wheels aligned
Since i've done the irs conversion, the rear wheel alignment has been a bit out because i dont know where to align trailing arm in relation to the
spring plates.
Trouble is, can't find any wheel aligners in the maitland/newcastle are who have the ability to change it. The car seems to wonder slightly when one
of the rear wheels go over a big bump.

Hi
My guy in Sydney just backed it onto the machine. The last alignment I had I had just fitted 944 spring plates & arms, I fiddled with car when it
was in the air until it looked right, when I took it to the aligment shop it was spot on.

mine did it with the same machine. the machine read both front and rear at the same time. so just put it up and adjusted it all. some places i found
though if you rang and asked them "can you adjust my rear suspension" tyhey would say now, but ask them if they can cheack it for you nad you may
get an answer of yes.

Hi
They also need to know how to do it, make sure all your nuts are well lubed to make it easier for them. I find the old fashioned shops are usaully the
best.
