here's mine on the Hunter at TopMarks Tyres this afternoon ... really nice guys, who took the time to talk me through what they were doing with the adjustments (and why their breaker bar couldn't budge the rear upper camber adjustment bolt Big Cry)

I've just replaced all 4 rear suspension arm knuckles and bolts at the same time that I replaced the upper rear suspension arms, so the camber adjust bolts were easily adjusted. They didn't need to take the wheels off to do it. Interesting to note that i had actually had a 4 wheel alignment at an ATS 3 weeks ago (just after id done all the above work) and they couldn't do the camber on their machine, although they did the front tracking and rear toe angle cos that was all they could do. Once it was all connected up to the Hunter at Top Marks obviously the rear camber and thrust angle were out but also the front tracking was out. I can see that the Hunter is a much better bit of kit than what ATS use. The ramp appears to be specific to the laser machines. Everything is bolted into the floor and appears to be installed together. The ATS system is basically a bolt on to their every day ramp so maybe they have taken less time to synchronise the ramp with the equipment. Top Marks are excellent. I go there all the time for tyres and also that twice annual tyre change between winters and summers. Always very friendly, professional an good value. Anyway, they said to come back in a couple of weeks to check its all settled ok. All part of the price. We are off to Cape Wrath with the Roof Tent next weekend so that'll certainly bed it in! Geoff - Mark sends his regards. No idea if i got a discount or not. He's too polite to highlight it and there were others in the waiting room. 70 quid for 3 adjustments i paid.

England 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 S Manual Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3

It's a shame I moved to Cornwall 15 years ago. I grew up in Redhill, not far from Hooley. Being in the process of changing my lower front arms, track rods and rod ends, I could do with there services. I'm up that way visiting family for Easter but don't want to drive 260 odd miles with basic suspension settings only. I'm looking for a similar outfit down this way at the moment.

Went to Topmarks this morning to have wheel alignment done, following replacing the lower front arms, upper arms, arb bushes and new air struts.

Very informative guys, Billy did mine and took the time to explain and show me what he was adjusting.

Glad I decided to travel further, just to make sure it was done by peeps who know what they are doing.

Topmarks Thumbs Up geoff. for the recommendation Thumbs Up
