not yet. It is quite expensive some more not guarantee can work. I am planning to go NSS at glenmarie to do alignment + balancing which is cheaper. If really not work then i only consider other shop. How do you think?

Help.

Today i am doing my first 1000km Service and Alignment at Glenmare. The technician checked and told me that my front left type was eaten due to pull left problem and suggest me to switch the front tyre with back tyre, no balancing is required as informed by him.

Below is the differences before and after the alignment:-

Before:
Steering was hard to and required more energy to turn but very stable.

After:
Steering was very loose and required more energy to turn/steer for same corner (about 360deg for U-Turn), steering not stable especially when hinter the uneven road, steering will vibrate. And steering will not auto turn back to original position after turning.

Do any fortezen here faced this before and is this normal? Help please !!!

BTW, any branch/ dealer open on Sunday near PJ area?
*
I found the solution already, i did my alignment again at 3rd party shop and he told me the alignment is run so much although the SC said ok. I think most likely the machine at Glenmarie SC is not proper calibrated.

Now my car felt better but still not so stable when running at uneven road although is at low speed. Going to do my balancing and alignment again at NSS SC on Wednesday.

And, for all Fortezen, please avoid to do your alignment at Glenmarie SC.

Charged RM 150 by Michelin tyre shop for balancing, alignment and camber kit (I think it's a rip-off), but nope, handling/harshness issue still there.
They pumped-up the left tyres to 32/33, while reducing the pressure on the right tyres to 29.
Lastly, the parking brake release is not as smooth. Sometimes it does not release all the way. The "spring" not as "springy" as my previous car.

u still didn't check ur absorber as per what i remind u... go to selayang or kinrara SC, they have the machine...
both tires should have equal pressure, mine never pump right tire lower than left... 32 psi is acceptable...

QUOTE(gregy @ Feb 6 2012, 04:52 PM)
In case anyone is interested, it's the shop next to a Shell station as you are driving along the NPE from Sunway heading to USJ. After passing SS14 and SS15 you need to exit the flyover and keep left to continue towards SS19 and USJ. Right after taking the bend, you will see the shop on your left.

Is chamber nut must changed in order to solve alignment problem? I need to tell them to change it or they will check and advise me?

RM 90 not cheap also leh..alignment shouldnt cost that much even plus the camber nut/bolt

Well, true, but at least they are really professional when handling customers' cars. Nobody gets in without first placing a seat cover that covers from headrest all the way down, and you won't find grubby hands touching your steering wheel. There are also place cloths for when they work on your engine bay. Free wifi, coffee, tea in an air cond lounge etc. For me, these reasons are enough to pay a slight premium over other places.

And they took around two hours to align my ride, doing more than three rounds of test and adjust. And it fixed the pulling left issue for me smile.gif

Unresolved Recurring Problem / Issue with my Naza Forte 1.6SX

1. Soft buzzing sound everytime i first step on the accelerator pedal, usually occuring around 1000RPM.

2. Harshness when going over bumps / uneven roads / high speeds above 110km/h. Suspension? Rims? It feels like "swaying".

3. Steering turns to the left by itself. Tyre shops "solved" the pulling to the left problem by pumping more air into the left tyres and less air into the right tyres. 32 vs 29. But the steering wheel still shifts to the left when going over bumps.
*
1. I also have the similar symptom (1.6SX, 4 speeds), asked SC, they said that is normal, but personally I'm not convince. Just typical Malaysian SC, if they insisted that is norm, nothing much you can do. Since that is not the big issue, I just ignored it. Any other having the same problem?

3. Pumping difference air pressure is workaround, not the solution. I have my car fix in Puchong Naza SC, they took me 2 hours and consumed around 6l petrol (I really don't know where they gone to test my car!). The situation get a bit better. Until I have my car service in Serdang Raya SC, the technician informed me the alignment is out quite seriously, they just added a camber bolt (RM25 ) to resolve the problem completely.

Prob so far none with the engine... just follow the service manual...
Trade-in depends on the condition & shop...
Registration date & mileage? Previous owner has EWP ?
Kindly take note that old forte had 2 years or 50k km warranty whichever come 1st. If has EWP can extend up to 5 years.

Is that true 2010 forte standard warranty only 2 years? Anyway i can check it? As the car dealer keep saying it is a 5 years warranty car without showing me the service record.

Yalor, unfortunately I am based outside of Klang Valley (phone code NOT 03-, phone code 09-)
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, some Naza-authorized Service Centres are insisting that I use fully synthetic and refuse to allow semi synthetic for 3rd service. They claim it is "instruction from Naza".

Ayooo... why didn't inform earlier ur phone code... then sori not much i can advise u...
Fully syn is OPTIONAL , dun trust them , i'm using semi syn...

Yes, you are right, it's just a workaround, not the solution. I have added the camber bold (RM70), but their secret in resolving is varying the tyre pressure.

I was standing beside and observing the entire process. And same same, they consumed lots of petrol driving around, coming back, changing the tyre pressure, and testing again... they repeated the process perhaps 5-6 rounds.
I do not know what kind of magic they had done, but I do pump the air in petrol station (equally for 4 tyres) few times after they installed the camber bolt, no "left-pulling" issue noticeable. Thus, I do not think they just play around by varying the tyres' pressure.

Note: AZ World (Serdang Raya) wasn't Naza service branch, but Naza authorized service dealer. I do not see my car in the service workshop while the front desk person received the call from technician to ask me if I wish to install the camber bolt. I assume they do not have such facilities in their workshop and they just drive my car to near by tyre shop for fixing. Any way, the end results is much better than the official Naza service branch in Puchong that I mentioned before.

Hi all,
