TYRE ALIGNMENT ISSUE?
===============

Hello all forte lovers,
I just got my 1.6SX yesterday. All in all, I'm quite happy with the car. GPS activation code is promised by my agent in 1 or 2 days time where she'll sms it to me. I got mine from Bukit Tinggi Klang.

I have a small issue though, I think my alignment is not correctly adjusted. hmm.gif This is because when I go at the speed at 100 km/h and above , I will start to feel the steering vibrating slightly. This is highway driving. It vibrates slightly more the faster I go. When I am holding the steering at that speed at higher speed, my hand will shake too.

Is it true that it is caused by alignment? My agent seems to mention something about "... if need to do alignment.. bla bla bla" yesterday but I didn't really catch what she was saying at that time.

Also, maybe because of the alignment issue, I feel that the tyres while travelling at higher speed is abit loud. Not really loud but , slightly more noticeable. Any of you out there face this issue? I think this is common for the standard wheels that forte comes with right?

Is it advisable to have it fix asap? I just got my car yesterday. I won't really be driving fast, around 90-100 at highways only. I am thinking of waiting for the 1st service . Or should I get it checked and aligned as soon as possible?

Thanks for anyone reading this and replying. notworthy.gif

ps. I am loving this car!

Just reporting in about the vibration issues when driving on highway, anyway, after my agent ask to drive the car for a few days to see if the vibration disappears, yeah it sort of disappeared and no vibration anymore. She says sometimes it's caused by the new tyre's "bunga" or those little tiny rubber poking out for new tyres. Guess that's it, no problem actually. Also got a activation code as promised on the next day.
