Long time ago I used to go to this guy in old klang road. The shop is located at the side of main old klang road. Jam packed with cars. Even police cars go there for alignment. I have stopped going there long time already.

BTW, that is one of the only shop I know that will never ask you to put camber nut.

Oh..BTW, when we go to shop and ask for wheel alignment, they only do wheel alignment? They won't do steering alignment? Or it's something that they do together?

QUOTE(zeng @ Dec 2 2020, 09:25 PM)
At the initial stage of performing front (2) wheel alignment job , the steering wheel is always FIRST centred ,
prior to adjustment of camber and/or caster angles (which is often omitted by alignment shop) to be followed by toe angles adjustment at the tail end of the job .

Hence, centering of steering wheel is part and parcel of front wheel alignment job (whether or not front camber and/or caster angles are adjusted) and not separate apart .

Hmm...if I remember correctly, seems like some shops don't follow this. Maybe my memory is just bad but I do see certain shops not centering the steering or maybe I missed that part.

Even if they do, will they like ignore it when found steering base not aligned?
