Haven't heard of one up that way.
Maybe try a 4WD place? These guys seem to get decent reviews https://www.pro-axle.com.au/newcastle-nsw/

Thanks Barry and Mark I’ll give them a shot cheers
You are way out of my territory, but would suggest you ask a few old school mechanics in your area who they would recommend.
Doing it properly may be out of the capability of many tyre shops? Apart from the tooling & knowhow it seems most tyre shops use a data base of wheel alignment specs that are not necessarily appropriate for older vehicles. Do you have a copy of the Bentley Manual - or other reliable Manual with the wheel alignment specs ? If not, see the post https://kombiclubaustralia.com/showthrea...ht=Bentley . Take a copy of the Bentley Manual Chapter 2 section 10 Table I page 35 and Chapter 6 section 10.4 page 59 (or other reliable specs) to the mechanic doing the job. I had the front & rear wheel alignment done awhile ago - made a big difference.

Hi Doob
Yes I have the Bentley manual I know how to adjust toe and camber but don’t have the equipment and have had bad experiences with so called wheel Alignment specialists who don’t know kombis , there’s a couple of old school vw mechanics in Newcastle so Ill give them a call see who they recommend Cheers!

I also used O’Neils at Belmont and found them very good. Also, the owner of Charlestown Steering Service used to have a bay Kombi (not sure if he still does) so maybe they have some experience too.
