Post Wheel Alignment
Where I live in Australia the roads are full of big potholes. One of them even bent my rim, the tyre wore off on the outside. I went for an alignment. The mechanic only charged me $30 and looked rather grim. Now the tyre on the other side is worn on the outside . . .
What is the problem with wheel alignments for 2cv's - are special tools needed - or even parts replaced? I would like that puzzle solved before I put my new Michelins on!

Ball of string is alright but to use proper tracking mirrors is much better, and if you know someone with a proper Geo ramp (with sensors pads and a computer) that'd probably be the best method.
