hi Chee ann, i just got conned/advised by one shop into installing the camber nuts, total is rm70 for both side. will the tyre damaged faster by this camber nut? any consequences? i mean, since its adjustable, so, after driving and wear and tear, the nut will loosen faster and causing me extra money for adjustment fee during balancing& alignment? i read about this camber nut con story long ago, but i'm tempted to see if there is a difference in it. or maybe the shop guy too good in talking. my car pull to left side since 1st day from factory. it seems like able to fix that problem, not sure if its just my own imagination. |

answering on behalf of che ann
camber nut is where the tyre / alignment shop made the most. a piece of camber nut alone could cost as much as 45 bucks but camber nut does work in some way; it help in holding the suspension / lower arm in the best possible way. thus eliminate the one side tyre wear problem or car can't go straight while the steering is in straight position. camber nut help in protecting your tyre wear by distributing the wear evenly. avoid going through pot holes when the adjustment is still on camber nut. it may caused the nut to bend thus alignment might change. btw, in some case, worn out steering bush / drive shaft / lower arm bush does contribute to the unstable ride |

Dear all-experts,
Currently i am sourcing 4 new tyres, size 185/50/R14. I'm comparing between Michelin XM1, Pirelli P3000 & open to other recommended brand, like Yokohama. most of the time i'm driving @ highway, hence comfort is my major concern. Pls advice. |

QUOTE(yngwie @ Jul 4 2010, 07:40 PM) what car are you driving? Thank you for your prompt reply.if you're mainly into comfort and quiet, michellin xm1 and falken ziex912 would be a good buy. both are quiet and comfort. yokohama a.drive is another option with good treadwear rating but i doubt it will be more quieter than the 2 brand above. frequent highway driving will be quite hard on tyre wear which is another consideration if am not mistaken, xm1 treadwear is around 320 while falken ziex912 is rated higher at 360. not sure if falken available in profile 50 for 14" though. do check around. I'm driving HondaCity 2002 version. Well, in term of treadwear, roughly Yokohama a.drive is higher than xm1 or lower? How about the price, if compared the 3 options as mentioned, which is most expansive, middle and least expensive? I was quoted RM185/pcs for xm1 inclusive of balancing and alignment, is this a good buy? Thank you ahead for your help. This post has been edited by master_q: Jul 5 2010, 12:11 AM |

the_catacombs was right. it was a standard price almost everywhere for ps3 of 195/55/r15.
at that price, x2 pcs free balancing x4 pcs will be free balancing and alignment(labour). |
