After I fitted the TT wheels, I thought I might as well get a wheelie alignment just to be sure,to be sure.
The joint I go to is Taranaki Tyre Torque, who are a happy bunch of sausages, and John the owner is very fussy about keeping his equipment up to spec. The machine they use is a Hunter brand, which if memory serves is an Aussie made gadget.
I was pleased to find that the machine has a full listing of imports, including ALL Soarer variations. Being a fussy little womble I checked what the machine said the specs should be for a Soarer, and what Steve Chetham's specs said. To my surprise, they were identical . The Hunter lists JZ30/JZ31/UZ30/UZ31/UZ32, with appropriate alignment variations between each model. Which saved me having to say "I don't care what ya friggin machine say's, I want the alignment set to THESE specs"! .
The end result was, the alignment was already poifect on the front, and only a poofteenth out in the rear......NICE .
They also said that ALL bushes/ball joints pertaining to correct setting of wheel alignment were in excellent condition.
The cost was $45 incl.GST. However I gather that the normal cost of a 4 wheel alignment is between $60 - $75 depending where ya's go.
Sooo I would suggest for peace of mind, get ya wheely alignment checked, which is also a good way to see if you bushes are rooted or not.

Last time I got a wheel alignment done (at Haslips Tyres in Mt Wellington) the guys wouldnt stop raving about how great Soarers are to align, how well everything is put together and how easy they are to adjust.
