Hi, I have a Polo X reg. My tracking keeps going out by as much as 10mm in a week,mechanics are baffled. They say everything is tight ,no play any where, no wear anywhere. Has anyone had this problem or does any one have the answer. Would really appreciate any help.

something has got to be moving,front wishbone rear bushes at a guess,guessing that its a fairly new shape ?

Not too sure what you mean by new shape. going back to the garage tomorrow, will tell them what you think. They were talking about laser aligning with the rear wheels, sounds expensive to me.I looked at other past posts to see if anyone has had the same problem and I came across one that mentioned the camber adjustment. Is this a possibility. Hope I dont sound too dim. I have deliberately kept myself ignorant of the mechanics of cars - too dangerous if you get things wrong.

laser tracking is the best way,but get them to check the front wishbone rear bushes before doing the tracking
