Just want some opinion on this one - or if someone has some expert insider knowledge please come forward...
Clocked over 10000ks in the new car and as i have always done i took her in for a wheel alignment, balance, rotation - you know - the usual.
This is something i have done with my previous cars - get something like this every 10000ks and to be honest i have gotten some impressive miles out of my rubber.
I was informed today by a collegue that i am a bloody idiot. He recons that the newer cars have single mount points and rigid joints blah blah blah, and hence do not need wheel alignments because these things can't change. He recons all i need to do is the occassional wheel rotation. He went on to tell me how places like Bob jane will happily take my money and perform absolutly nothing.
I'm a driver, not a mechanic - i know sweetFA about this stuff. Does anyone know if this is true or not?
