So in your case, just changing the cam degree enough, and no need to replace?

first time u have to replace the adjustable one first.if your existing one is adjustable then dont have to replace.
for some case, certain absorbers come with the adjustable offset.or even some use the adjustable arm.so they can use that to adjust

Noted, i now understand it better. For adjustables, how much is reasonable price for them to do the adjustment?

When I went to one shop in Taman Sri Andalas Klang to change one tyre, the Boss said that all the chamber of the hyundai matrix need to be adjusted ... but they only knock2 a little bit .. then finish liao .. each side around RM 20-30 .. forgot d. Excluded alignment and balancing .. that separate price

I kena scam one?

depends. ur thread pattern last time how? botak sebelah? did they use any tool to set the degree of the chamber?

chamber adjustment mmg not that much to do. just loosen the nut and turn the bolt.

Only 1 side of tyre botak sebelah. another 3 is okay

They are using the same tool for alignment.



I see ... so normal to charge 20-30 per tyre .. in my case, they are in the midst of changing both of front tyres and after that they told me to adjust the chamber

RM 20~30 for chamber adjustment + alignment = 50 per tyre

that... is quite steep indeed... i tot rm30 for all 4 tyre...

mind if i ask what car ure driving?

Hyundai matrix .. so kena scammed liao?

idk. im not sure about the price myself, coz ive never done chamber adjustment before.

quick search says rm30/tyre is the average fee for chamber adjustment in malaysia.

I see ... then its normal. My complaint is only they knock something behind the tyre for few minutes/seconds, look at the alignment machine and its complete.

Thank you for the feedback.

Got 1 workshop doing aligment and very famous at Inanam Kota Kinabalu. I done my car 1 time and can last for 4 years till i sold my car.

The mechanic will ask you how many year usage of your car and last aligment done.

If car used 1 year above, he must change the chamber nut to get most accurate aligment. Of couse it will more expensive abit but you will safe time, tyre and safety.

sounds like a scam.


this is how most camber bolt n nut looks like



this is how u adjust camber on most vehicle. u loosen the nut, turn the bolt until u get the desired camber degree u want, and tighten the nut again while holding the bolt in the same position.

unless the camber nut is fully rusted out, i dont see the need of changing the camber bolt n nut.

Not really a scam, my myvi camber nut quality crap and you will notice it bend abit.

The mechanic will not change if insist by car owner but he will ask other mechanic to do the work.

You want quality aligment, then let the sifu handle the job.

Well, camber screw pricing is definitely a scam. I got a customer who machine these for his clients. Its dirt cheap.

As for the screw themselves, well, you cant say it is a total scam. It is about how much does it bothers you. I think many people already seen video about cars' mass manufacturing and how manufacturers have been cutting corners to increase production speed. You can kinda see how all 4 of your tyres are wearing differently one from another. I think manufacturers learned all about this from their endless test drive all these years and considered them acceptable.

Exactly sound like my 2 of office mate case on kemuning Tyre shop also

Victim 1: Spent rm720 hankook set plus this scam on axia
Victim 2: Spent rm890 hankook set plus this scam on Myvi

End up same price with other shop despite cheap tyre price

Friend baru do camber acrew and alignment for her old NHC City.

2 tyres - Rm 210 each = Rm 420 (Hankook)
2 camber screws = Rm RM 120
alignment = Rm 40

Total Rm 580.
She do at Top Speed Car Care, Taipan Usj.

I told her.. I baru do my alignment at Bdr baru Klang, Rm 20 nia. CMCO price okay.
Foreman just adjust camber screw and that's it. No changing screws.

I also told her why not you try this tyre shop behind Usj19 Mall / Rytheme Avenue.

Klang/Kota Kemuning shop famous for these little money sucking tricks.

What I do is change tyre and go SC for alignment & balancing. At least they won't pull stunts in front of you. Secondly, you know SC do a proper job here.
