Info regarding KDS alignment

emmasatchi · 02-20-2009, 04:15 AM

I am about to have new tyres fitted on the rear of my 330d.

I have been reading about having KDS alignment done which I think may be a good idea as my car is pulling left a bit.

1. I am in Woking, Surrey - any good, reputable dealers or outlets around me.
2. When tyres are fitted, do I still need to have them balanced and tracked or is this not needed with the KDS work?

Very ignorant, please help enlighten me.

Thanks

You need to have the wheels balanced but you do not need to do anything with tracking if you're having a KDS alignment done.

I have just had a full KDS done at BMW Battersea... but the only reason it got done (as I think it is £295!) was I needed a suspension linkage replaced under warranty while it was in being serviced.

I know BMSport in Bexley have a very good machine they use for track cars and charge £120 I think.

Just get your new tyres balanced and then book a KDS alignement...
