Don't be too surprised if the mileage turns out to be true.
My FORTE is now at <12,800KM mileage after having turned 1year and 10days old smile.gif

My suggestion:

Get your car to a reputable Auto Alignment Garage (example: Ah Kit Alignment @ Sunway PJS11 aka Jalan Horsepower).
Request for their service to asses your vehicle tyre alignment and camber (the shop should use a camber tool/gun for this) along with the heel & toe of the wheel.

Get their opinion on what to do next, if there really is a problem of misaligned wheels.

But if you said that you've done the alignment and balancing and whatever else somewhere and it has been determined that your Forte's wheel is indeed out of its' original position, you may skip going to the Alignment Garage. Unless u want a second opinion lah smile.gif

I suspect that your Forte's absorber mount/anchor point may have been compromised OR the lower arm may have been bent out of shape OR both.

EDIT/ADDITION: The alternative low-tech/low-cost solution to determine the extent of the damage (if any) would be for you to get your hands on a measuring tape, and to measure the gap between your wheel-car before comparing them.

i had obvious damage on the inner camber with scratches on the camber metal. i suspect the sides of the lubang hit the camber metal thus pushes the camber to behind abit. thats why my left side wheel seems nearer to the fender. i compare using my eyes of the left wheel and right wheel also know it is different position d. take picture later give you see the damage scratches

Dont be surprised. My Forte 2011 has 30k mileage since its a weekend car ... the trick is the more newer recent year cars usually are not treated with the mileage modification yet. Plus you can always request for the service booklet and crosscheck with service centers.

Right. Well, you don't have to show me the pics coz I'm quite familiar with such damages.
I've a friend whom used to own a Camry which suffered a similar fate.
The damage was repaired by the replacement of the lower arm, link rod, and realignment of the absorber/suspension well (minor 'ketuking').
Am not sure if your car is suffering damages to the same extent, but my friend's car was pulling to the left which means that the damage was quite bad.
All in all, he spent about RM900 (if my memory serves me right) in repairs.

Depends on car condition lar bro smile.gif
If the owner jaga kereta and didn't get involved in any accident/knocks, RM57K sounds pretty reasonable for a 3-year (I assume) old car.

Do remember to check the Service Booklet to ensure that the appropriate service schedule has been adhered to.

is there a way to remap the gear ratio??
i barely noticed the 3rd gear, and some how kinda hate the 6th gear starting around 70kmh....

5th gear should stay all the way to 120kmh....because at that speed, rpm still not exceed 3000.

possible. Get an expert that know top down of the gearbox ratio...open the gearbox up (void the warranty) and change the gear ratio.... brows.gif

this morning i was revving the engine around 5k rpm at the 4th gear for a while and it was only 120kmh. i think better use paddle shift rather than sacrificing the warranty sweat.gif
