Mate, the front end barely dropped half an inch when I put the bullbar back on and it tracks ok and the wear is ok thus far so we'll see.

I have no idea because the guy wasn't being too talkative, he wasn't happy that I'd wandered into the tyre bay to ask him about the alignment so I was getting grunts and single syllable responses.I tried to explain to him that I'd had a ball joint replaced by a local mechanic who did a basic alignment and it tracked straight after but was just twitchy.... Mind you that was the same guy that since then screwed up a diesel injector pump install, kept the van for 6 weeks and eventually dumped it outside my neighbors place still in pieces. He tried to tell me it had done number 1 gudgion pin because it was rattling like a bastid but I've since taken the van to a diesel specialist who confirmed my suspicion that it was just the timing was out.
