MIght as well just double check the toe if you're concerned.

Who's doing them.

No idea yet, I could do the bearings myself but I don't have the time.

Kinda gutted as it has just been done :D

Suggestions ?

Can strip it at mine if you want to do the bearings at J&F.

I've been wondering the very same thing. Have a geo booked with CLCM on Tuesday but need an offside wheel bearing before TT. Reading the manual it looks like there maybe minimal effect on geo settings.

I'd say don't bother unless the old one had masses of play when you previously had your geo done, in which case it may be miles out.
