sure got diff.... feel better respond & smoother...i dont know bout u

b4 i use normal ngk s.plug.... managed to get 3, each rm40

Ngk normal plugs is RM40 each I think you mean RM40 for 3 pcs?

NGK is about RM40 for 4. kancil ones are cheaper, but so far i've never seen special packages for kenari. bear in mind kancil uses a different temperature plug.

I've seen a 3-pack spark plug under Perodua label. Think it was NGK plugs.

Anyone having front wheels balancing problem where the front wheels became


/ -- \ <-- Front Wheels.


|----| <-- Rear Wheels.


The mechanic told me to install two camber nuts to fix them. RM55 per wheel.

And do you guys do alignments and balancing in tyre shops other than Perodua Service Centre? May I know how much they charge normally and do they impose Government and Service Tax?

I think that is pretty normal if they see you have a new car. I have been quoted from RM30 to RM80 for the nut. Try to negotiate for the nut (that cost only RM1-2 probably ), I think RM30-35 per nut plus installation is fair, then it will be easier for tyre shop (any tyre shop) in future to adjust your camber problems.

Authorised service centre will most probably charge tax, smaller independent shops probably won't. I normally do my alignment and balancing at other shops, not authorised centres.

those are the kancil ones la perodua SC uses the regular single box NGK or bosch. mine came with bosch from the factory though.

is that a problem? lol more camber the better! for my usual place, balancing is RM5 for all wheels, RM20 for one side camber (RM40 for front, -1.5) and RM20 for toe-in and other alingment. most expensive i had was Rm75, and my camber nuts only cost me RM30 per wheel. lol.

Do we need chamber nuts for the back tyres?

Sweat, today I installed 2 chamber nuts (RM55 x 2), Wheels Alignments, and Balancing at RM 150. Sweat... Why they make money like that... Really no ethics...

rear cannot adjust la......its using torsion beam, so your geometry is fixed. whoever kena con adjust for rear damn sad

too bad birdie can only do suspension settings for front, but then again, in the long run, it really saves on maintenance

no ethics???

are u new at driving??

dude...its part and parcel of maintaining the car ler.... just that from now on remember that if they say u need to install chamber nuts say u already have...

no ma, this is daylight robbery!

Did I say if they call me to install the chamber nuts is no ethics? I am saying they are overcharging, that's why... Please read my post carefully...

Where can get Denso Iridium Power Rm40 for 3pcs....its Rm40 each...

Actually it comes it 1 pack contains 4s.plug, but i managed to get 3....
The price per pack is RM155, bought at spare parts shop somewhere around PJ state.
Normal NGK s.plug got 3s.plug specially made for 3 cylinder engines.

i know what u mean ler...

yes the price is a lil on the expensive side.... but i wouldnt go to the point of saying they have no ethics man..... mainly because ive seen worse.

put it this way....

55*2 = 110
alignment = rm25
balancing (rm5*4) = 20

total RM155.

considering u got RM5 discount its ok mah.... BUT i have to say the camber nuts are a lil expensive... they usually dont cost more than RM50.

so again...a lil expensive...but not up to being no ethics

yeah, the NGK 3-plug set is for kancils, but where did you get the 3-pack iridium? RM5 more expensive than my own iridium plugs and i bought them separately hhaha

I ask the shop owner to sell it to just only 3s.plug, taken from 1 pack=4s.plug....
all 3 s.plug is rm120.......urs how much?

So far haven't changed absorbers, but must do so soon, car already 7 years old.
