I need to have the perch setting adjusted. Any idea how long it would take a competent mechanic?

TIA
Chris

Default Slightly

They're a little easier for quattro, not a whole lot. Still about an hour time.

FWD is a different suspension, a little easier, but not by much. Still figure an hour or so.
