QUOTE(Irzani @ Dec 23 2019, 02:38 PM) 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.

QUOTE(Irzani @ Dec 23 2019, 02:59 PM) 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 tyrethat... is quite steep indeed... i tot rm30 for all 4 tyre... mind if i ask what car ure driving?

QUOTE(taiko8148 @ Dec 24 2019, 08:30 PM) 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.
