    Default Wheel alignment / balance - new car owners, have you done it @ 5k?

    Hi all.

    My car's clocked over 5k and was wanting to find out if ppl had taken their car for a wheel alignment / balance @ 5k? I know that tyre shops generally advise that after 5k new tyres should get inspected (balance/ alignment) to keep longetivity in the tyres? should i bother?

    I did mine on the wknd and mines done 11000km and the front right was well out, already had started feathering, well worth it, plus they can rotate them to
    if your around the 10000km mark.
    IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME.... STILL WAITING LOL

    Yes they can. I believe you can get nearly as much adjustment on the rear as you can on the front from factory now.
