Hi everyone I have a preface lift k11 1.0 1997. Recently replaced the front suspension arms as one of the the ball joints was on its way out. Also did the n/s/f wheel bearing got the local garage to press it for me and I refitted the hub. All went very well. The tracking didn't feel too bad afterwards usually it goes out of alignment when I've done the front wheel bearing. Anyway to cut a long story short I took it to the tyre place I've been using for the last 10 years to get the tracking checked and it was out by a fair bit apparently. Had it back for a day or two and it felt a bit better On the the 3rd day it started to feel weird it felt like it was wandering and when you go round a corner when take the lock off after going round the corner it feels weird. On the straight it does feel like I'm having to correct it a bit. Took the car back to the tyre place they took it for a drive and the bloke said that the alignment is spot on and they stand by what they have done they have a state of the art alignment setup uses cameras and lasers. He said it could be where I've been used to it the way it was when it was out of alignment that now it's spot on it will feel different for a while. I did point out that when I actually drove it to them after doing all the work on it it felt fine. To be honest the car felt better before. The only other thing he did say was maybe changing the back tyres as one of them is about 8 yrs old. So I might think about putting a new set on. I've had a look at the roll bar bushes on the back and they were perished so I've replaced those I'm going to fit a new pair of stabiliser links on the back today as there was a bit of slop in the ball joints. Also found both Flexi hoses are a bit perished so another job for wkend. Does anyone have any ideas what else to look at the only other thing I could think of is the upper and lower arms on the back? I've had 4 of these k11's now never had this problem before though. Despite Mr wheel aligner saying they stand by their job it don't feel right lol....Any help or pointers in the right direction would help. (I do have the print of the before and after if anyone's expert on this sort of thing)
Thanks
