As EllisoJo states I had problems with ATS, I had replaced every ball joint front and rear,autobushes all round and the Bilstein kit. The tyres are Falkens which were all made the same week. After fitting all those new parts I took it to ATS for a four wheel alignment check and when it came back it was truly awful even to the point of being dangerous on bumpy corners. I checked the print out from ATS and IIRC the rear tracking was set at four degrees toe in and the camber was set differently each side.
They reluctantly agreed to re do it FOC but would not accept any problems linked to a “wrong alignment setting” when I got it back a quick drive over the Quantock Hills showed that the handling had been transformed. The crashing noises from the suspension that I put down to the autobushes had gone and the ride was improved. This improvement was solely down to the rear alignment, the front had been done properly the first time.
I am now quite convinced that anyone complaining of handling problems should get the rear alignment checked but take the correct figures with you.
A great road to try out your handling are those on Exmoor in a triangle between Exford, Porlock and Lynmouth.
