Hi all the sifus here.
I recently got my new car and changed the rim to sport rims near Rawang there.
During allignment time, they claimed that my wheels not in nice position or "lari".
So what they said is to change the chamber screw that provided by them and it cost RM80 for a pair of that screw.
Do I really have to change the chamber screw after changing to new sport rims? The workers there said that the tyre will wear out on one side if I don't use the chamber screw provided by them.
I left the shop without changing the chamber screw at last btw.

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ May 17 2012, 01:46 AM) if you indeed do not have camber adjustment screws then you will require one (or 2) per side (which makes a pair) to allow camber adjustments. common prices are rm10-20 give/take per piece, so anything more are basically rip off. 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. |

QUOTE(h4dRi @ May 17 2012, 12:38 PM) usually when we refuse to use their alignment service after we bought tires or rims from their shop, they will purposely adjust tie rod screw to make our car's steering become not straight so we will go there again to do alignment. so make sure after they install the tires back to our car, pay them & go try other shop to check alignmnet True this. Especially Rawang and Klang tyres shop. I went over to Rawang to change my sport rims btw. I knew they gonna ask me to change to their chamber screw when they are doing allignment for my wheels. But I insist not to change it. Will be going for 1000km service soon and ask the service center to do allignment  |

QUOTE(mADmAN @ May 23 2012, 12:14 AM) no...ur talking about camber... chamber usually refers to a room/enclosure of sorts... or long ago...people used to call b00bs "chamber" (street slang kinda thing) Sorry for the spelling mistake. But I was referring to the camber screw in the wheel. So yeah. |
