Cars lowered 30mil on eibach springs and currently sporting 17" ET45 alloys.
It's been doing it a while, but i'm wondering whats a matter. I've heard about peoples steering racks going tit's up and tram lining etc. Is, the car drifting enough to suggest steering rack. Car's booked in on Wednesday to get looked at at Vauxhall. I take it i'll get bother for modding the car if it needs work, but im ready to have a go, its only done 10k miles in a year.
Any advise? Cheers.

Tracking is out
Simple?
When the springs were fitted was tracking checked?

My tracking hasn't been done, maybe Vaux can do it on Wednesday. Or i'll get it done on the weekend and not turn up.
Which wouldn't be nice of me.

tracking should of been done once the car was lowered,
and also around 1000 miles after the car was lowered allowing time for the springs to bed in.
Will cause the car to steer to one side, tyre wear quickly etc etc

Yep, everytime any of the steering or suspension equpiment is unbolted or adjusted you got to have the tracking checked. It's normally free to have it checked and about £20 to have it sorted
