Tracking Car with big front bumper ?

Postby Mille » Sat May 21, 2011 2:00 pm

Hi All

I've run into a snag after fitting some suspension components. My Mechanic isn't able to track the front as the size of the bumper is in the way!

He then took it to Kwik Fit and they had the same issue.

Anyone know where in Cork that would be able to do such a job?

Thanks

This would only be an issue with a bumper thats wider than normal i.e. sticks out proud of the front arches - what bumper model is fitted?

John / Dave - did you ever get 4 wheel alignment undertaken? To my eye, its not sitting out too wide...

Thanks Seb thats the one.

I want to avoid taking off the front bumper if I can. I've heard of a guy in Togher that may be able to sort it out so I'll give him a try.
