Suspension Wheel Alignment Question
Wheel Alignment Question
Does anyone know the stock aligment settings for the 2004 MCs (11/03 build)?
Also isn't the steering wheel supposed to be straight after the aligment?
I am having an issue with a tire store I have been dealing with and they have trashed my MINI.
The reason I ask is because I got new tires and an alignment the other day.
They ended up scrapping and denting my rims and giving my car an alignment. Not to mention that one of the tires had went flat on the way home and all tires lost pressure by the next morning.

I took it back to them the next morning and they fixed the wheels but ones seems to be out of balance and the car pulls to the right between 50-60 MPH but they say its fine.

Thats what I am planing to do.
But I am going to try to get my money back for the alignment.
They did offer compensation for one of my wheels but they are not planning to do anyhitng with the other two because there is a little curb rash on them.
One of the reasons why I chose to buy from them was that the manager told me that they specialize in fun flats and know how to handle them and that they had a long warranty for their alignments.
