Take it to a 4 wheel alignment specialist. Many of the nationals like kwik-f/up do it, cost should be between £25-50 but look for discounts.

go to post number 24


Seems like the alignment specialist needs a bit of extra kit.

Took my leon in for 4 wheel alignment and there is no adjustment on the rear, they can only adjust the front.

I don't understand, how do they sort my rear Camber out if they cant adjust it?

Looks like something has broken to me. If your alignment is out you won't be able to see it with the naked eye. Your wheel is at a horrendous angle

Yeah must be surely!! Crazy as it's just cruised though the mot.

MOT doesn't really mean anything, other than the car is okay for the 30 mins it's in there being tested.

Only picks up things that are broken or breaking, anything could happen as you drive off down the road.

It's going to be suspension or axle related. Something is either bent or broken and will need replacing.

This is in relation to the Altea not the standard mark 4 Leon.

I don't have an Altea but from researching it has a quite different rear arrangement.

See here for the eccentric bolts that are used for camber adjustment:

That arrangement is confirmed here:
