is it worth having 4 wheel alignment done or is 2 wheel tracking good enough ?

depends if your rear geometry is out or not. if its ok, don't bother with the 4 wheel tracking.

How could you tell as I'm not too sure, struggling to park the car in a straight line, maybe just front wheel tracking needed ?

only way to tell is to get 4 wheel tracking done.

Always get four wheel tracking done. It is not 1987 anymore.....

With just front wheel tracking, the fronts may be fine but may also be running off from the rears and the car could be driving a bit sideways like a crab.

In this day and age when laser four wheel alignment is available, two wheel tracking is pointless.

Ok sounds like a plan, I think my local ATS does the 4 wheel alignment
