slid sideways into a kerb after pulling out of the car park at 5mph last night [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] I hit the kerb totally sideways so both wheels hit at the same time and stopped dead, front tracking seems to be out now and there is a rubbing sound from the rear wheel [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] Really annoyed with myself!!!
I better get the 4 wheel alignment done i suppose, if i'm doing that i may aswell get a set of springs fitted!!![Big Grin](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Anyone recommend somewhere in the birmingham area?? Can't really be arsed to go all theway to Nottingham or cheltenham to see the usual suspects.

yellow pages details
Slightly further than i may of implied by saying just notrh of Nuneaton but nearer than TSL & cheaper although as i say still good set up if not quite in the same ball park as TSL. I'm guna use them, Fowkes, to set my car up once i've killed the jap rubber.....

I daren't look for the marks cos you just know that being gold wheels, there'll be a bloody great chunk taken out leaving a matt silver shine!!

Me to! Bumped a kerb last night at low speed (thanks ABS). Scuffed wheel, tracking out a bit, and one very pi$$ed off driver.
I'll get the tracking sorted on Saturday, but more worried about the wheel (all 4 in perfect nick before last night) Has anyone used one of these mobile allot wheel refurbishers?
