So you rule out the suspension issue, looks like should be tyres issue?

start with simple things first, such as tires and alignment. Usually alignment is not the cause unless you hit a large pothole or curb by accident.
If you suspect suspension, lift the car up and check first if strut leaking, lower arm bars bushing ok or not, sway bar links loose or not, etc

Alignment only do if your old tires showing uneven wear, or if you changed struts.
If no problems with steering drifting to left/right, don't waste money on alignments.

Tyre rotation every 10k km is fine.

When you do rotation and balancing every 6 months or 10k, the tires and suspension got wear which will impact the allignment settings can be retune back. Especially with malaysian roads full with potholes and uneven road surface, you think your tires treads wont reduce, absorber or lower arm bush wont degrade overtime? laugh.gif Everytime i do tyre rotation i check my allgnment settings also sure got 1 or 2 tires out from optimal position and need to tune back.
