| I asked international tyres bishop to see what they charge on there hunter machine got told £45 and if I get new camber bolts fitted they would adjust that within the price I just need someone to find out once and for all what is wrong | |

| Don't want to waste my cash Steve I'd rather get it checked first in case it does need track rods I'm getting new brake discs and pads fitted before hand but I'm starting to lose patents with it at the minute | |

| Ask them to have a look, they will check for nowt. Just with them being close saves you driving a fairway incase its something serious. Phone them up before hand. | |

| Then it's on to getting rear suspension looked at cos there's a knock on the back end think it's the drivers side shocker or top | |

| Hi. I just posted a problem with my hawkeye with steering wheel shake. Even with different wheels on it's still there. Did you get to the bottom of your problem? Mine has done about 60k miles | |
