Was speaking to people in the know regarding the need for ADAS recalibration the other day.

The reoccurring information I get relating to any suspension repair / replacement is they are quoting as saying that ADAS recalibration is required.

So scenario 1)

A Vehicle 2 months after MOT has developed a worn bottom ball joint & / or worn track rod end joint & / or broken coil spring. The customer is unaware of the fault(s) until the following MOT test. Say a garage performs the repairs correctly & to spec but does not perform a ADAS recalibration. Can someone tell me how the ADAS system can ever know?

Technically the vehicle has been put back safe & to its original state. So why is ADAS recalibration needed? It's back as it was & IS safer than it was.

O.K! Scenario 2)

Lets say a customer calls in for a puncture or damaged tyre. The tyre is replaced.
Surly a deflated tyre has the same alteration of KPi / Camber / Caster & wheel alignment as a worn suspension joint or broken coil spring etc. etc. So when the tyre is re-inflated or replaced then surly ADAS recalibration falls under the same criteria.

So we cannot even change a tyre now???????

If ADAS is not dynamic in it's function then how in the hell can it possibly function under day to day use.

I would like some thoughts please as I smell something that's shovelled out of a stable!
