Was it done on a level surface??? (stupid, question, but you never know!!!!)

Also did he tighten up the track ends???? (as above in brackets!!!!)

yes mate to both but i suppose he wouldnt admit it if he had just cost me 2 new tyres

either the tracking gauges were incorrectly set up or the track arm nut was loose.set the tracking first then straighten the steering wheel if nes using the track arms EG-if the wheel is off centre to the left then shorten the n/s track arm by 1 turn and lengthen the o/s track arm 1 turn.if the wheel is off centre to the right then shorten the o/s track arm by 1 turn and lengthen the n/s track arm by 1 turn.road test it and further adjust if required.
