Final comments

This method is a marathon. It takes a long time. It is fiddly, but, I think it works. If money is tight may be this is for you. If you can't find a reliable person to align your wheels may be this is for you. As I said at the start I haven't had the ultimate confirmation from the dealer that what I have adjusted is actually correct – so user beware.

WARNING – When you have finished adjusting your suspension don't forget to TIGHTEN ALL CONNECTIONS you have disturbed to the specified TORQUE in the FSM!!!!!

Sorry for the lack of photographs – in particular I wanted to show the DIY spreader bar but I can't find that photograph at the moment. I'll post some more photographs if there seems to be a requirement for them when I find them.
