this is a good thread. sorry for bumping it after some time.

i m driving a kancil n i think its time to do alignment n balancing dy. my question is, to what figure i must the toe n camber n alignment (whichever it is) if i want my tires to last longer n at the same time take corners confidently at moderate to low speed? tires need to be long lasting, thats more important. cornering not so cuz i dont drive fast at all times.

hello, went to get my alignment done today, and the mech said I needed new camber screws.

I just had my front absorbers changed, so the alignment was way out.

He charged me rm30 per side and put 2 screws in?
Was this necessary?
Really need to change the screws? He told me both tyres were tilted inwards.

legit question,

Should d adjustable camber bolts be placed in the front upper or the front lower clevis hole in the front knuckles ?

Say, changing from non adjustable bolts to the adjustable ones?

Read somewhere that putting it in the upper clevis will cause the bolt to fail/bent faster....?

That would only mean that your car already has an adjustable camber screw. By default most cars comes with a straight camber screw which cannot adjust the camber without first changing the screw.

Here's where the one bad apple spoils the whole basket story comes true. For most cars out of the factory do not have adjustable camber screw. Most also have very little negative camber and will cause the tyre to wear out the outsides faster. However, some workshops take advantage of this and con the customer to change the screw all the time.
