Mine's been wandering about badly so I got the 4 wheel alignment done today. First impressions are that it's a lot better

UPDATE: Just back from Mike's where he sorted the 'Sticky Steering' issue as well as the Wheel Balance.

Turns out the Offside Front Wheel was the culprit as the weights on the wheel had fallen off, plus the tyres themselves werent the best (Nexens) and that contributed to the wheel pulling at high speeds.

Have to say Mike is very professional about his work but without the jargons. His fee was also very reasonable and it is reassuring to take your Zed to someone who is not only a decent mechanic, but a decent Z4 mechanic.

Hope to be back soon to swap over my 108s which are in pretty desperate state.

So you needed a £5 wheel balance to sort your "problem "

Shame he won't sort out the issues for these folk, just giving a balanced view.
