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.

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

Ya i knew one time in kedai apek. Absorber and tyre when langgar lubang sudah start bunyik krik krik...they say need tukar both absorber mounting and some besi below...tukar only 1 part that time coz no money, and they warn, kenot tahan 1 part only u must come back soon.

After that go kedai melayu workshop to change the other one. He said the new one apek shop pasang macam sengaja pasang longgar, gap very big. Also he check the besi below all perfect no need tukar. That was the last nail in the coffin...i will nvr go to those scam apek workshop again

Normally i do allignment every 6 months once or about 10k km. Then do tyre rotation as well.
Camber screw original ones are very thick and strong. Only if you kena accident or pot hole until tyre burst or rim bent, and damage it, then you have to inspect for damage. If not, i wont bother replacing the camber screw at all.
I did brake disc skim for RM80 per piece, not per pair in Klang Valley. Myanmar guy come do for me.
Tyre wear pattern not only depends on wheel alignment but also the human attitude. Lazy people who dont go check tyre pressure frequently (although its free in this country), will have uneven tyre wear due to under-inflation.

Screw those penipu scammer tyre shops. Just changed 4 pieces of tyre, they told me I need to change camber screw, stock screw not adjustable, and my tyre makan dalam, simple alignment can't solve the prob, I tell them I will come the next day. Later on I went to seek for 2nd opinion from some older tyre shop, the uncle told me there is no need to change to adjustable camber screw , nowadays most of the tyre shops wanna earn extra. He proceeded to do simple alignment, only charge me rm10. Malaysia is full of penipu scammers nowadays.
