Since i put the 17s on the steering shakes a bit after 70mph (on private roads) and also car now drifts a bit to the left.

Any ideas?

My first guess is tracking. Where and how much would this cost?

Cheers

btw its on a 98 Megane Coupe with 17" Masitaly 205/40/17 lowered -30

Excellent. That'll go on "to do" list along with the exhaust getting sorted friday.

Where can I get it done? Tyre places or garages?

every tyre place will do it...I presume most garages will be able to check aswell...

tyre garages are your best bet though...

I paid £24 at Kwit-Fit for while-u-wait tracking. Free inspection, then you pay if you need it doing.

My brake pedal vibrates when I brake, after the tracking, I think one of my alloys is buckled or dented or somethig

Strange - I think my car leans to the left AFTER the tracking was done - It was fine before!
