3340TH Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Hi just wondering what sort of profession straightens mags, do i just take it to a tyre place? "Had a wonderful night last. Took my skyline to the shops, and on the way in i heard a clunk from my front right wheel, and just though it bent out my guard. checked it was fine so didn't worry. Left the shops (from undercover where there was light) then heard and felt bad noises at the front wheel, looked outside at it to realise in was buckled. Pulled up in the dark had a look to realise i was missing 4 wheel nuts, Luckily i had four lock nuts sitting in my centre console from december. (Never put them on because of the stereo in the boot, so i left it; Pulled out the stereo the other day to realise i have no jack or spanner) Rang the g/f got the gear and fixed it up, put the four lock nuts on the one wheel, now i cannot find the lock nut fitting. Now is this just Karma cuz i didn't put the gear in my car or has someone tampered with them cuz they dislike my skyline (there are alot of people that love to hate skylines)."

STATUS Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Morton and May in NSW are arguably the best in AUS, we tried nearly every one (3 or 4 in VIC and two in SA and QLD) we could find and they do the best job at the best price. Extensive in SA is also very good but they tend to only repair the easy ones (to near perfect mind you). Mortons are happier to take on the total loss damages Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/176438-straighting-mags/#findComment-3230138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHDave Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I second morton and may. They do fantastic work. If it's buckled then almost every one you talk to will be unable to help as they can only fix localized damage (pot hole hits and the like).

3340TH Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Jacked it up last night, and spun the wheel, looks like its only out by about two mm...Will a wheel balance fix that? Would it be natural for mags to eventually fall out by this much, or are they that strong they shouldn't bend?
