But any work on the rear will not cause any offset on the steering wheel.

If the thrust angle is not zero caused by uneven toe at the rear it will cause a steering wheel to be off centre. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

That bush requires the alignment to be set up after it's been replaced.

They could have done the tracking at the same time and not have done it right which could explain it being out.

Have they charged you for alignment after the repair? 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

Thanks all, really appreciate the replies.

Definitely no mention of alignment on the invoice so that could well be the problem.

They do tyres there as well so presumably they ought to be able to do it. I'm going home tonight so will see what they say on Monday. 2010 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE

Always remember Glenrands aren't far from Sandhurst, even if you need a phone call for some advice. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

Glenrands do alignment work AFAIK. Mine's just failed for the same reason and it needs a new bolt as the original one is seized in the bushing so they have to cut it out. Glenrands looked at it a few weeks ago and said they needed replacing but didn't have time to do the work due to them expecting to have to cut out the bolts x4 so I'm lucky only one has failed. AFAIK these bolts only adjust the camber ? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Had results several times using a 3/4 inch drive HGV rattle gun, it either shakes them loose or sheers the bolt clean off and then no need to cut them, punch them out with an air chisel... Thumbs Up Pete

They threw everything at it this afternoon but didn't want to risk shearing it off without having a replacement. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

This is the joint they've replaced.



Is it me or is that mega rust for a 2010 my 07 is nothing like that - if you haven’t already I’d get your cill covers off and check them before you get a nasty surprise later down the line - I’d probably check the rear subframe too Current stable:

It does seem a bit crusty but I think it looks worse in the photos than it actually is. I was wondering if I could clean it up a bit.

I had the sills and rear wheel arches checked and treated a couple of years ago so hopefully they're still good.

It's going back on Friday to have 4 wheel alignment done. Hopefully that's all it needs. The garage disagrees that this joint requires the alignment to be done but they're doing it anyway. 2010 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE

Fair enough if you’ve checked hopefully surface rust.

If changing it caused the problem it obviously needs adjusting 😝 Current stable:

I think they're wrong to be honest. It's part of the adjustment for the alignment. Also, check they can lock it into Tight Tolerance Mode. If not, walk away and take it to somewhere else...... Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

Yes and they do it properly e.g. Tight Tolerance Mode, Hunter 4 wheel laser kit and if any bolts are seized they will insist on replacement so it can be adjusted correctly. Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"
