QUOTE(Ancient-XinG- @ Jul 18 2018, 12:07 PM) I change camber once. 1 side only. Because the mechanic say the other side ok. Then do the alignment 2 times. test car total 1 hour (I am in the car too) until the alignment ok back abit. I know my problem is lower arm causing the car go to the left when cruising. Camber also got lari abit. So its ok to change sometime, provided you know about car la. You'll likely need to get a castor correction kit to fully get the car centered. Most cars now have a slight sideway bias geometry to counter the very mild bulging on the road centre (for water to run off to the sides). But this kind of default setting only work if drive on the other side of the road.....

QUOTE(Ancient-XinG- @ Jul 19 2018, 06:45 PM) Yup. Its expensive to deal with it. Need to eliminate the problem 1 by 1) My mechanic told me that also. I don't know what to do anymore lol. I got this car from my sis and she got pusing once in karak highway. I think that's the major cause...… What car was that?

QUOTE(Ancient-XinG- @ Aug 3 2018, 11:40 AM) Last time she kena scammed by the tyre shop people. Really black hearted. Left back wheel got punctured, they don't want to repair, say cannot repair, must change new one. (scammed 1), ok, change new tyre but gibe smaller size (scammed 2), I not so clear about how small is the size, as that time I still young. I just remember my parent rushed to bentong police station, left me alone at home. On the way back, my sis using karak highway, near bentong toll there got people put oil. She wasn't drive that fast that time, but the irregular size of tyre, at the back start fish tail. End up pusing 3 rounds. Bang road divider. Whole bumper drop. Air bag no deployed, lucky she drive slow. Those tyre shop people really.... and those pour oil people also..... very very black hearted. After pusing, 1 group of people with tow car came. you say la. Maybe is that accident make the car chasis lari. What i can say is that the tyre shop was indeed unethical, but they can't fit "smaller" tyres, likely they fit slimmer width tyres. Yes, it will affect the traction of the car somewhat, but won't cause it to fish tail that badly. The main culprit was the slick road due to oil spill. Even cars with ESC can't work when there are no tyre traction.
