About 2 months ago I had some new ( cheap ) tyres and wheels fitted to the Astra, Only recently have I driven it at 100km/h due to living in the inner city.
The car has a severe wobble through the steering wheel at this speed, I thought I would drop the car back in on Monday and ask for a balance.
But yesterday when I was washing and detailing it, I noticed that the front wheels have actually been fitted on shims/spacers - It appears that the rear diameter of the wheels hub is too large and this was rubbing the back of the caliper assembly.
I did not agree to this and was not even told about this, I am pretty sure it's illegal to run any type of spacer in NSW.
I intend to go back tomorrow and ask for a solution, But I wanted to know what my rights were before hand.
Is this indeed illegal? - Will they be required by law to offer me some sort of fix / resolution?
Any advice would be great.
