I just do alignment for my alza but the tyres still misaligned and the foreman suggest it is faulty lower arm plus I think absorber already gone kiok because even small bumps feel too hard on the car. So i want to ask whether I should replace only front absorber or all four? And for alang2 nak tukar which parts should be replace along with the lower arm?

What you you mean by tyres still misaligned??

may not be an lower arm issue. all suspensions, arms, etc are connected together.

If you feel the car like floating or bouncy or 'buang', then mostly the absorbers is a goner. We can test by pressing it down few times on each side and release, if the car bounces up down many times like 'toing toing toing' before it settled at the position, then it is gone.

the alignment guy would know if the alignment is off with the alignment machine on, they can adjust to the best possible, unless it is 'bengkok' somewhere (possible the car hit a big pothole.
Last time (like 3 years ago), the rim bengkok liao. after then change to new rim, everything else ok. Wear and Tear on the 'bush' on lower arm etc which is normal. I change the lower arm about 2 years ago.

suggest go to another workshop to check, unless this is your very trusted shop.

let us know what you mean by misaligned.. thx

I did the alignment when I sent the car for service at perodua sc. So when I get back to my car, the perodua foreman came to me and said he had to inflate front left tire at higher pressure than the rest because the car keep going left and he said it was probably due to faulty lower arm. About the absorber, I feel the ride is not comfy anymore even the slightest bump feel hard on the car. Next monday I will go to my trusted workshop let him recheck the suspension

ok ok.. slightly to the left. Check the tyre pressure yourself to make sure. sometimes, they pumped >36lbs for me.. every single stone also can feel.

there are possible few things i can think off..
1. the tyres on the left is 'thinner' then the right
2. the absorber possible out on the left..?
3. the brake pad could be holding the left side more, the right seems to be more 'released'. if the brake pads worn out more than the right one, then this could be the issue. lube the caliper pins.
4. worn out bearing.

the alignment guy may help to identify the root cause..possibly.

also to note that some/most hiways have 'tilted' to left or to right for running rain water. but it is not a lot. If you let go the steering, it may possible sloooooowly move one side, but hardly. Unless you let go, it just go left immediately.

just my 1 cent thought.

Alright thanks bro. Already pening with this alza. High fuel consumption plus the car is not that good. Slow acceleration, wind noise issue. The only good thing is because I'm tall so really comfortable during driving. Definitely better during kancil days lol.

If you can wait, wait new version coming in October. I believe will add on more safety features and change new engine. Recently model not much stock and stop production if not mistaken.

definitely something not right. Burn smell is no good.

at least get from sparepart shop like Hella / stanley / bosch which could be about rm10-15 each on the safe side.

if changing to these also have burn smell.. you try touch one by one the wire and see if any of the wire HOT. possible some circuit problem.
just don't want the wire to melt and open circuit, if touch car body or catch fire it is no too. Eventhough there is a fuse to cut it off.
