Car Tracking? Cost + How long?

Diana_Prince

Hi All!!

My steering has gone really light in my car so was thinking it might need the tracking adjusted.

How long does it take and how much does it cost?!

Much appreciated! Thanks x

how are your tyre pressures? has the "city" button been pressed?

two things i'd look at before the tracking. otherwise whenever i've needed it checked/adjusted its a suprisingly quick thing, could be while you wait, and its cost about £30

If you drive on a flat/level surface and let go of the steering wheel (not on a public road!) do you feel the car pulling to one side?

What car is it?

Some cars can only be adjusted at the front, others the rears as well, some cannot be adjusted at the rear. Should take 30 mins tops.

I pay about £30 for laser tracking at Elite in Essex, £50 for front and rear.

Shouldn't take long 30 mins to an hour. Cost wise I'm not sure but not that much say £50 max (hopefully less)

I doubt it'll be the tracking. Look elsewhere.

too high a pressure in front tyres?

i doubt it will be the tracking.

The steering feels lighter. I have checked the tyre pressure and it is fine.

No the city button hasn't been pressed.

Thanks for all your help, it's booked into a garage for Monday to see what it is!
