I have just had a full KDS alignment done to correct my steering wheel being slightly left when in a straight line. The steering is now very very slightly to the right, I have asked for a print out and have attached it, can anyone understand these printouts???? They said the steering may be a little bit out due to the way the tyres have worn, the edges are feathered quite bad.

Thanks

Adam

Rugby School still going strong , wish they would sort the one way system out though...

Think I have got to the bottom of understanding the KDS printout, it seems my car steering was off due to one of the rear wheels toeing in too much??

Not everyone who lives NEAR Rugby goes to Rugby school 700700.

For the rest of us proles we have something called a 'comprehensive education'. It's what the children of poor families have grown to expect ...............

I think the respondant was talking about the one way system in Rugby ... not the school, since many of the pupils are not able to drive for legal reasons (under 17).

ok. But if you drive a 35000pound car surely you can afford to send your child there
