QUOTE(azarimy @ Jan 28 2017, 11:40 AM)
when i bought my exora (new), we traveled all over malaysia. then when in KL, there was some vibration on the front tires whenever i go above 90. so i went to a workshop near my parents' house to get it checked out. the pomen told me about the screw bengkok. so i agreed to change it (naive!).

drove back to JB. it was fine for a few days, then the vibration starts again. went to the proper proton workshop. this small, young tudung girl checked my car and laughed out loud at the "expensive looking" camber screw and told me i was scammed.

malu bodoh. that girl couldnt be more than 20.

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.

Fuck those unethical tyre man, luckily I didn't listen to them and I went to seek for 2nd opinion. Idiot scammer, person's front tyres are designed to be slightly slanted inwards, makan dalam a bit is normal.
