Been trying to get my tracking checked past couple of days, as my tyres are starting to wear more on the inner edges..
Couldn't get my car on the ramp at one garage, and another one said their gauges were too big.
Will I be able to get my tracking done when my car is this low?

You need someone with 4 wheel tracking. Mine is done with tracking and camber and is measured by them clamping onto the rim rather than the tyre.
you need to find a place that measures the tracking by clamping onto rims.

they did mine the first time, the back way in through the lanes with tracking and camber out is scary, to say the least..
