Guys,

can anyone provide feedback on where I can get a wheel alignment done on my mini? So far all places i have tried either tell me they can't do it because the wheels are too small (12 inch ) or that the arms on their machine cannot go that low???

So if you have somewhere preferably up north (I am out past Gawler) that you use for your mini, could you let me know?

cheers,

CJ

I used light wheel alignment in Adelaide. Leave the car there for the day if u need to.

Damn that's a long way to go for a wheel alignment

Anyone else have a recommendation for somewhere in the North????

Ive used nuriootpa bridgestone for my beast. I have 10" mags with drums. They did a rear alignment for me and 99% sure they did the front at the same time or another time earlier. Before that minisport did one when fitted my rack

I am sitting at Bridgestone in Nuri right now watching this poor young bloke getting an education on how a mini works

Yep they can do 10's as well so I now can get some added to my wish list

Haha, did they mention my clubby?

Yup they did.

Have to say I was very happy with the service they gave and will be taking my mini back there next time too.

It wasn't perfect alignment this time but as i have just put in new cones I need to do it again in about a month once they settle some more and I am happy with the height of the hilos I put in I wasn't chasing spot on. When i get a chance to scan the results i will post em cause I have a few questions about what to tackle next.

Cheers,

someone should make a thread of decent places to take your mini out side of dedicated mini/moke workshops and a sticky/ index for people to find would be quite useful.

ok so here are teh results from the alignment



Now considering that I have pretty much standard gear should I be looking for more adjustment? If so what would you guys recommend (standard road car not performance vehicle).

cheers,

CJ

Great to hear. They a great bunch of people, always looking after me.

Im not sure in what the ideal specs are for minis but being a mechanic i can say a couple things. Id try to get the individual toes even and im not sure if possible with standard gear but maybe a bit more negative camber on the front (to improve handling at speed but may slightly reduce tyre life)

There was a thread on here with some specs for wheel alignments but for the life of me I could not find it
