Lately for a punctured tyre, I paid Kim Heng RM10 for balancing and RM3x(?) for internal mushroom patching.

It charges RM10 for external plug type repair.

No idea for Weng Tat though.

Oh ok RM 10 for balancing seems to be reasonable. Ive been to some charging RM15

I send my car for alignment as when drive straight the steering is turn right.....
But the shop when do alignment no pump all 4 tyre balance....
But after done, drive steering not steering to right anymore...
But when I send the same car few weeks again to check brake...
The alignment feel off and steering need turn to right abit to keep car straight....
Should I just send to service centre or find other shop?

IMO bring back to the same shop. If that still doesn't work. Then bring else where.

Hi guys. Can recommend 15inch tyre that can last long and good price?
Second car seldom drive, just need to replace the aging tyre since i saw a few small line crack on the side already. The current tyre around 3years old.

Even though you didn't drive often, make sure to always pump tire air. You still can use if there is hairline cracks. But not for heavy load or long distance only city speed and continue to monitor. Worst come to worse, replace with 2nd hand tire

Typically service centre is not good at getting 'near perfect' wheel alignment whereby:
1) Steering wheel is perfectly straight on and not crooked and pointed to either side while driving straight ahead on straight roads with both hands firmly holding tight to the steering wheel, as in your car currently, AND

2) All 4 tyres remain within the same lane not crossing over the white lane marking lines for 8 seconds or more at say, 90 km/hr constant speed on straight ahead driving on straight roads with both hands temporarily taken off the steering wheel (CAUTION).

I have been having both the problems above for past say, 3+ years undertaking  4-5 alignment jobs at 4-5 different tyre shops. The search for a really good wheel alignment is still on.

However, I do not have accelerated tyre wear problem for a long time.

Therefore I would suggest you search around for a really competent one, which is very very difficult to come by.

Good luck, and wish me luck too

Try changing absorber mounting. Suggest you go for ORI.

Mine used to do the same, until I change absorber mounting and no more having this issue. Apparently it was the so slight height that causes it.

Previously using
Japan Ori, have this issue
Change to OEM, even worse
Change to Ori, fixed

Ok, just came back home from a visit to my mechanic who took another closer look at the conditions of front absorber top mountings vis-a-vis vehicle pulling/drifting to the left problem.

[attachmentid=11515347]

[attachmentid=11515348]

My mechanic's verdict is :
the two front absorber top mountings are serviceable/good and do not require replacement.

Note: The hairline cracks as appears in the photos of the rubber mountings are NOT physically observable on the car itself.

Good to know. So now it is either tie rod, or lower arm. Or maybe RIM is slightly bend
