i was tricked to do it before. they charge RM90 per screw. need to change two. but fortunately i went and get second opinion, with more advance alignment system, and i was told that my camper screw was perfectly fine.

they will ask you change both sides, but u can change one. terus terang the PC screen show one side out of alignment.
so i told them only one side need to adjust. dun try to sell me something i dont need.

Just do everything in SC. Slightly expensive but you don't have to deal with all these bullshit.

Last i do my tyre alignment from any tyre shop, 90% sure ask to add this chamber screw, cost like rm30 per pcs, required 2 pcs.

So usually for car alignment and balancing cost like rm50 + this rm60 chamber.

After bought new car, just straight away do alignment and balancing at SC for rm70 which without this chamber scam unit.

At least it got warranty if u complaint after the service

I think most of tyre shops I have been sure recommend me to change this part. My previous car after changed that part for a few months, then I went to another shop to change the tyres, the pomen recommend me to change that part again. Dang scammer.

know your products then they wont be able to cheat you lo.

sometimes also they get their parts expensive ma, for example, the shop i go to service, they use benz ori oil filter (come in benz ori box) rm70 (which i am sure their cost over 50)...while i buy bosch one rm20 from the benz stockist.

Some of them are ok. But mostly kedai melayu i go i never faced this chamber shit. Just align the tyre, etc. Boom, no need to change anything. Went to typical big shop "boss ini chamber screw sudah rosak, mau kena tukar". "Ini chamber screw tarak bagus, mesti tukar kalau x korner lari". Fk me please, does all car manufacturers using al cheapo screw
