There is a locknut on the inside of the control arm, loosen that and you will see a cam that can be turned right next to the castor mount you have just fitted.

Pauly - castor mounts Frenchy is talking about are at the front.

But then asking how the REAR toe is adjusted! Pauly is correct thats all the adjusters for the rear arms.

I will need to have my alignment/geometry checked when I replace some parts, anybody recommended in the Cambs/Beds area, Promax is an option I just wondered if anyone has used any other places in the area ?.

I am not sure if this is in your area but all told, apparently he is the BEST you can get.

Very thorough and good value for money.

Thanks for the link, I have read good things about them but relating to 911's, not sure if 944's are catered for.

He has done a fair few of the regularly tracked 968s over on the 968UK forum all with glowing results.

He is by no means considered to be cheap but does a very thorough job

I'm told that the before & after road test is quite "interesting"

Do RPM have 4 wheel alignment equipment ?.

No but they have a deal with JZ Machtech and take the car down there to do the setup

Interesting to know. I have an MOT coming up, not sure if I should use my usual place or somewhere that has more experience on 944's ?.

944's are definately catered for at CG. We had a technical visit there in 2008 and Chris used a members 944 as the subject of the discussion. Everyone I know that has used Chris to set up their car all say the same - the car is transformed and Chris's technical knowledge is immense.
He is even a Tipec member

Any idea of costs ?, think I read about a GT3 being done there and the owner was very happy, but it was quite a long process.

Give Chris a ring and he'll chat through what's involved, likely time and costs etc.
