Title: 159 wheel alignment
Post by: Stu159 on May 14, 2021, 03:08:13 PM
Hi,

Can anyone please recommend a suspension expert in the inner Sydney region? I've put a lot of money into my suspension (Bilstein coil overs, Powerflex bushes) and I don't want to go to Bob Jane, Jax or any of those chain store outlets and expect a good outcome. I'd rather pay more for a dedicated specialist. Any recommendations would be much appreciated

thanks
Stuart

I didn't know Automoda did wheel alignment GTV6SA. That it is interesting. It would be worth the expense to get him to do it.  I'll try that when I'm ready for the remap. I'm also looking to try Heasmans in Sydenham. I didn't know Bob Jane etc couldn't go beyond factory spec Tango, but it makes sense.

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated

Stu

I usually use Stuckey's for my Alfa, and Jeff at McKinnon Tyres (who does Brighton Alfa's alignments anyway, apparently) for my Mercedes.  After George fitted my Bilsteins I needed an alignment as a priority, and I remembered Bob Jane in Port Melbourne had come up in forums as being very Alfa friendly and accomplished.  No problem at all for them to set the obligatory zero toe-in on the front.

lucky I ended up going to Heasmans (www.heasmans.com.au) today - good result and I can recommend them. Had I gone to Mexico I'd be stuck......
