word of wisdom from my fellow sifu : QUOTE(davidke20 @ Jun 19 2012, 08:19 PM) Darling, drive your car to flat gloss ground, such as Mid Valley parking lot and listen to your tyre on straight line. If can hear screeching sound, most probably alignment out. Normal computer alignment cost RM15 and that's it. Don't let them con you to add something camber screw lar, adjust camber lar. Those are nonsense until you hit a pothole hard and bent your lower arm, otherwise those camber adjustment are just a way they pitch for more profit. Bad camber is something like this  Bad alignment is this  Normally, besides of steering bush, bad alignment will also result in steering numb/turning back slow after cornering. I assume you're not an hard arse that corner like me, your bush should still fine as your car only 1 month old. Steering bush is an wear & tear item, normal driving condition can last up to 2 years, the more parallel parking you do, the faster it die. Died"ed" steering bush normally you'll feel significant numb on steering feedback. For example after steering full turn during reverse, if you put it to forward and step on the gas, the steering will auto correct itself; as for bad steering bush your steering will stick to full turn and continue make donut when you step on the gas. Bad alignment vehicle normally give numb feedback because the wheel not agreeing on the straight line, after steering full turn already, both wheels tend to rejecting each other instead of agreeing.

QUOTE(payamam @ Sep 18 2014, 10:10 AM) Last time when I work in Kelantan also kena con by a shop that looks so grand with high tech stuff. A few month later, have to get it repaired so later on I decided to send my car to a kampung tyre shop in Kubang Kerian where he adjust chamber, alignment using string and ruler. Before changing here and there, he will test drive first with you sitting at the passenger seat so that he can feel what is wrong with the car. Then only he starts repairing. So old school but that is the most trusted and reliable tyre shop i've gone to in Kelantan. Thumbs up! Alignment using string n ruler? Like pasang window dat one ah? QUOTE(cikalakacikaci @ Sep 18 2014, 10:12 AM) guys, if i change rear tyre coz got kembung (dont know what to call it) tokey ask me to change both rear tyre coz he said wont balance if change one oni, is that normal ?or kana tipu inb4 i noob Change a pair, put infront..keep the best as spare tyre..discard the other two.

Camber bolt / screw = highest con % by nearly all tyre shops. New cars don't come with this for many year oledi. Totally unnecessary unless kaw kaw bang bump or longkang.
Brake pad, brake disc skim, brake hose, air cond pipe, mostly con tactics by tyre shop

Liqui Moly tyre shop at Kota Damansara. Got conned by tauke, he charged me for new camber screws. After paying, i straightaway went out and asked the foreman who did my car, he said camber screw tak tukar pun. Cost me RM70.
What made me stop going, is my friends car sent for an full overhaul at the same shop, a standard waja. He paid RM5k for it. After about a month, got leaking at the gearbox gasket adjoining to the engine. Asked to change since did overhaul there. After interrogating the foreman (without the presence of the tauke), he said not fully overhaul, conrod, piston and whatnot xkeluarkan pun.
Sooooo goodbye, im going somewhere else.
