Definitely a rip off for just a pair of screw. LOL
But it doesn't affect much right?

It's a new car. Of course there are camber adjustment screws right?
The shop people said that their chamber screw are special type and even showed me the different of their screw and the original screw in my car.

Last time the previous owner lowered the car, now after change back normal spring the tyre shop say need change chamber. He charged me rm75 per tyre including allignment and balancing. Is this the normal price? He said if change spring le need change chamber, is it true? Feels like kena ripoff.. =C

if balancing and alignment cost rm45
and camber is rm30/pcs is consider good price

Camber, Camber, Camber....Most modern cars are adjustable, but not from where tire shops are used to.

Does anyone knows a good workshop who can do a good alignment using the mechanical device on the ground in KL? I went to this shop in sri petaling and they claim my camber screw need to be added to my rear wheels which cost about RM90 per pair. I told him my car is already 20 years old and has been doing alignment for years without camber. I dont understand why need one now. I drive off because i have bad experience with camber screws which will lead to more and often realignment of wheels. There are too many con men out there, can anyone tell me where is a good reliable workshop who can do a proper alignment. My car doesnt come with camber screw and i keep it tat way.

Not many knows that many cars can have the camber adjusted with the top strut.

Why? My cars have bolts that can be loosened and turned to get whatever camber I want? Yours tak de ke?

1.30 something are what my cars have. So why do they want to charge me for camber bolts? Insist on them summore. So I'll go to people who know what to do.

Mine are just run of the mill Fords....point a-b. Show me a good camber bolt that is cheap keeps it's place going through Malaysian roads, then maybe I'lll agree that they should be changed. Made in China 10-30 bucks ones don't count. They're crap.

Jap Fords, 4 of those.

While there may be a need to get camber kits, the ones sold in the majority of tire shops just don't cut it. Too soft and easily lead to the need to do it again. I'd go for proper toes than be unnecessarily concerned about cambers. If I do need my cambers adjusted like when I set up a lowered suspension, I'd go for a good kit rather than a concentric bolt they keep selling. Even then, its a maybe. My tires don't wear out if my camber is out but they will when the toe is not correct.

All my cars are still on their ori bolts, even the Iswara.

Iswara tak da la.....but what I'm saying is, you don't need the bolts as much as the tire shop wants you to believe.

Ok lor....need to adjust, adjust lor using that infernal concentric.

My point is, you don't usually need them. TS has a new car and he only changed the rims rather that geometry, yet those buggers want him to change the bolts. Why? That bad meh?

I agree with posts nos 8,9 & 10.

Bottom line. You don't need them most of the time. And Fords aren't the only ones with plates. Hondas don't have adjustable cambers either and they don't recommend those so called concentrics. I wonder why?

Then 28, 30 & 31. Why are you so concerned if people don't want to get their bolts changed?

How is it misinforming when you don't need the stuff? I also said that many cars have adjustable cambers. Not correct? Even when they do, tire shops still want to change camber bolts. Is that right? Or is that great info or good work? Do they really know what they're doing?

Ala......you mean my Iswara needed one in its 20 years? Tarak la and it's been up and down the peninsular. Refer to the posts above. I wonder who misinformed them.

I bet you my Beemers never needed any camber adjustments by changing a bolt either.

Mine never did. Only things done were changing the abs, mounts and bearing. Its still on its straight bolts. Tyres last years until time to change because they were too old. Only recently had to redo the suspension due to sticking bearing on the right mount.

You might want to find better tire techs.

Well, considering you have been changing yours and I have yet to change one in 35 years of driving........it's pretty telling.

You did say you need yours adjusting and even one pair is perhaps one pair too many. Unless of course, you keep changing your suspension set up, but even then toe is more important. Never changed mine and my tyres last way longer than 40k. I change tyres when they're old or when they're scrubbed due to exuberant cornering. Other than that I leave my cambers alone and so does my tech.
