Car has badly understeered..

[r8hjx@woknroll]

Hi guys, a quick advice is appreciated, in the last few days, I've done few things to my ep3, I took the aftermarket coilovers and put back the oem shocks with eibach spring all round, at the same time, I changed the tie rods up front because those old one were pretty worn also new drop links, Put car back on the road other day for quick test drive, the steering was unbelievable bad...can't even go straight! I think I mess up the toes while I've changed the tie rods! And the car seriously need alignment done before I can properly drive it...
Any advice will be appreciated, my plan is go local kwik fit which is near to me they have hunter for the alignment

Cheers
Ray

As you said mate once it's alligned everything should be ok. Even small changes or tiny imbalances can completely wreck a cars set up and drivability.

I'm sure it'll be fine. Mine felt shocking after i put my coilovers on even though by eye it looked well set up. After being alligned properly it drove perfect.

Also cheers mate I'll message you once I've got it.

If you are in the North west go to Grinspeed in Leyland for a setup, not sure I would let Kwik fit loose on my ep3.

Hi, all the good reputation garages all seems all in the north. I would said all those garages around where I live are craps.. but for the car which isn't suitable for long drive, I have no other choice :-( kwik fit was pretty crap, last time I bought my wife's Honda stream for them to looked at brake pedal feels spongy, couldn't fault the problem out just waste my time, after that, I've just recheck and it was the callipers fitted wrong way round the nipple facing down cause the air wouldn't be blended out completely..
But I hope they doing alright this time isn't any inspection, just a 4 wheel alignment is what they good at I suppose lol..

Maybe Dream Automotive in Herts? There's also TDI South in Thurrock, or a trip to APT in Norfolk.
