hey guys, may i know if there's other ways in checkin whether ur car's tyres have been properly balanced n aligned by workshop? sometimes i felt that even after i drove in highway, the steering will steer to left or right also...duno it's bcoz of the road uneven or what...

QUOTE(yngwie @ Aug 31 2010, 04:35 PM) fr3edwin@ thanks yngwie for your advise. any good place to do manual alignment n how much ya? all this while, send to toyota sc to do. my car just 9mths old, possible for steering bush to spoilt?? by the way, my car is 30k now.no chance. tires already in use. just bear with it until the next change. we all learn from mistake. make sure to ask around if you're unsure. don't trust the seller 100% fazron80@ where are you from? there is one in balakong area. turn left around shell petrol station after the mines shopping center. it's call z motorsports or something. cost around 80 bucks. good thing it was of pu steering bush which gives a tighter steering feel. JJ91@ check out pinned tread of tires price list. spiderwick@ you could try manual alignment. else, change your steering bush. refer to my reply on fazron80's question. depending on the tires compound / material / type / road condition and driving style. should be good for another 40k km. unless it was a semi slick, sports or extreme performance tires with low tread wear. thanks.

QUOTE(yngwie @ Sep 1 2010, 01:36 PM) fazron80@ thanks a lot for your advice yngwie! both hankook v12 and ps3 is a good tires. with ps3 being quieter and better wet grip. of course, more expensive too. huh!told ya after changing to pu bush, steering feels tighter after every corner, all i have to do is holding the steering wheel slightly loose and it will turn itself straight in no time. which is more convenience. spiderwick@ there is this silverstone motorsports in balakong, in front of jusco cheras selatan that do a good manual alignment. the foreman will test your car a few time after the alignment done. sometimes, it may take 2 hours to get done. that's it until the foreman satisfied with the result. cost vary from 38 bucks to under 150 bucks on all 4 side! depending on driving style, if we always turn the steering in full force during a turn, chances are the bush migh give way faster too. lulu89@ your vios could accept 185/55/r15 or 195/55/r15 without any problem. better handling. Str33tBoY@ low profile tires tend to gives a bumpy ride. depending on the suspension setup and tires pressure too. + point; better cornering and looks good too |
