They won't be removed but they will need adjusting if the tracking is out.

Yes, but you will have to undo the cable tie om the steering rack rubber gaitor and then undo the track rod end tobe able to turn the rod further ino the track rod for toe in or further outif you feel you have too much toe in.

Look in your local paper and seeifa place does free tracking tests, sometimes you see them andthe do your job, andgo along and see what they say.

ATS will check for free, but it's around £35 with them if it needs altering.
Worth shopping around,I found two garages local to me who did tracking ,One was £8 the other £15

Quick tip

Get some dental floss and run it round all four tyres with steering straight and check that both sides of the tyre walls are touching the floss both sides on each wheel. This should show that alls in line, if not, you can adjust.

Good luck
