sorry 250km..aahahha

if by glong noise you mean those with the yellow stripes then yeah, its a lot less vibration and noise, so much better..finally decided to change due to one of my tyres hit a screw (no idea how it got there on the damn tyre!) and one of my tyres already going bald...

trade in 2 of my old KH17 at 50 each..did roughly 40k with them..consider ok i guess..

The yellow line is "fffglung". Much more softer. The 'glung' I mean is when you go through the submerged metal gaps on fly overs, the 'god knows why malaysia make such road' road elavation (one low one higher) on the right side of highway. These 'glung's make your car vibrate and feels like there is something fell apart, you need to pull over and pick it up.

ah those..i didn't really observe those yet even though i went through a flyover today on the way back..will probably observe it within the week. but so far really satisfied with the tyres, definitely worth the money

Try those. I purposely go langgar those unevenness to see how much these tyres have improved. Else how do I know if those expensive tyres are worth my money.

hahha.sure will do

hi guys, anyone knows how much is the wiper control stalk?

ok...this is something....
what happen bro?

You hentam kasi hancurz?

Yeap..outside is only charge around RM50 to do balancing and alignment

But....reliability?

in most cases more reliable than SC one..i'll never do tyre alignment balancing, etc at SC anymore except for regular service stuff

i do alignment once in sc, charger RM35

ahem, my colleague's forte, she hangs perfume thingy and the hanger seem to melt/corroded the stalk.
so need to find out how much would cost her to replace it.

Bro, you're the only 2nd person I've come to know in my lifetime so far, whom will purposefully go hit uneven roads. Pls take care of your lower arms/bushes/link rods/etc.
On the other hand, I do get your point in doing what you do, though

Try eBay for a rough estimation before calling the SCs for a quote. After knowing how much SC sells them, go check with those "Korean Car Specialist Workshops" for another quote. From there, u'll be able to get an average estimate.

Good luck!

Another note on alignment:
Expensive charges with Adjustable camber bolts doesn't guarantee a perfectly aligned vehicle.
The experience of the Technician along with the machine plays are more direct influence over it.

Also, for most ppl feeling that the Forte having a 'slight'* pull towards the left, do pls remember that most of the roads are engineered with a left-rolling camber (to allow for water to run towards the road shoulders and drain), hence the tendency to pull your vehicle to the left.

Most experienced Alignment Sifus will compensate the above by aligning the wheels ever so slightly towards the right. Check with them and you will be told by the honest ones

--edited section--
* - I used the word 'slight' here to denote a really slight misalignment/true setting. Pls don't take my words literally, for the feel of each individual differs from one to the other.
So, what is 'slight' to me could be major to some

that's what the weng tat tyre guys did, they purposely misalign my camber to the right so that will make it more or less straight but it will of course makan my tyres but they did mention by a bit, not too much - it will eat my tyres more if the figure is larger like +1, mine now is +0.1 on the front right side

Oh no no no. I still avoid potholes like pleague, try to take smooth paid highway instead of small uneven roads.

I purposely go hit those crucial must pass through holes (metal thing missing in the entire width stretch of fly over road joint - cannot avoid), pain in the butt uneven-ness (elavation on entire stretch of road width - cannot avoid) , unavoidable sunken metal gaps to test if the tyre is real good. It is unavoidable in those sections. What I meant by purposely is to drive to those sections and try it out straight after getting the tyres.

Adjustable camber bolt is actually a bolt with a moveable collar in the middle right? I have been shown a camber with exact fit. The shape looks like the adjustable camber bolt, but the whole thing is one piece, solid, if you get what I mean.

I was in Teoh Brothers to change tyre, so they include allignment work too. So they adjusted ngam ngam centre. Straight. Due to some doubts on other section, I went to Lim Tayar in Shah Alam the next. They check and say allignment off by bit. So they adjust again. When I got back my car it is already very very slight to the left (???) as in if u put your steering very very straight, it will go right.

Hi all sifus,
After my first service, noticed that after I off the car engine, there was water leaking/dropping from the bottom of car (I'm not sure what it is and wat it called). I suspect it was something related to aircond.... before this no such issue.
It this normal or I have to send back SC to check again?

Thanks in advance.

i think this is normal? for water dropping out from car ac, similar to house ac.
