Realignment needed

After servicing the car, the garage thought a four wheel alignment was needed as the steering wheel was slightly off centre. I remember last time I took the car to get a hunter alignment done, a different garage that had the hunter equipment said they struggled with a couple of the bolts that needed to be loosened to do the alignment as someone previously had rounded one or two off.

My thoughts are that next time I take it to get an alignment done, I should also take a bag of new bolts and ask them to replace them while they are at it.

So my question is, does anyone know what bolts these could be??

Thanks

Mike
 
I think it's the tie rod nuts that are a pain, they need to be heated. It's a common thing amongst bmws
 
You can't easily replace the nuts on the tie rods. So, once they're freed by heating, get the threads of the tie rods well greased before retightening the nuts. You need a 13mm spanner on the nuts.
