well i got up first thing this morning and headed down to renault ilford to get my wheel bolts, i got a nice suprise when they were only £2 each (instead of what i thought would be £6)! :D

so i get home and set about removing the spacers up front and fitting new bolts plus my new locking wheel nuts, so thats all done i then head off to kwik fit for the tracking, i get there and i wait 45 mins to get on the ramp, the guy was really sound (but he drove a kitted out saxo :evil: ), so he gets it up to have a look and fits the laser alignment to to the wheels and then says it is 15 off track (what ever that means :S ) so it was seriously out, when i told him i had only just bought the car he said he would check everything out for me underneath, anyway he had a butchers and he called me over to show me my anti-roll links, well what was left of them anyway! :eek: there were fooked! he then said there was no point tracking the car due to this and said i should go and them replaced during the week at a garage, he also said he couldnt track it because they do basic tracking and mine was "more complicated", something to do with needing to set the camber, anyway off i toddled and on the way home i thought f**k it ill have a go, go i went to gsf and picked up the parts for £8 and then it took me 3 hours to do it!:eek: the things were siezed in there really bad, anyway got it done in the end! so now im ready to go and get my "special tracking" done lol :cool:

and that was my saturday, how was yours? lol

he also said he couldnt track it because they do basic tracking and mine was "more complicated", something to do with needing to set the camber,

The camber is not adjustable unless you have camber bolts fitted in the struts.

hmmmmmmm well 2 garages have told me 2 go to northway tyres which is near me and they say they can do it properly???? do the williams have adjustable camber because my car is williams blue and has willy alloys so mayb these garages are thinking i drive a williams lol
 
No camber adjustment as standard on the Williams.. just wider track.

My guess is they gave up - "something" seizes, and you can't adjust the tracking.. Heh.
