Hi guys,
Sorry if this is in the wrong category but i don't know where it should go. I just changed 2 front tyres and got a wheel alignment done. Now my speedo is about 10-15kms off. The speedo totally flies now, driving at around 60, it shows 75ish. What could be the problem? or did the employees decide to throw in a 3sgte for me for free? Thanks |

That is strange.
How do you know the speedometer is actually off by 10-15km? Did you drive next to a car asking how fast they were, or get clocked? I don't think an alignment would mess with the calibration of the speedometer. Putting a bigger size tire could effect it. -------------------- |
