Hmmm... Need Advise

[arrowhead]

ok, i've been driving this car for 2 years plus and this has never gotten my attention until just now.

look closely, and u will notice that my wheels aren't exactly placed at the centre.

and no, my steering isnt turned to this side, my right side wheels are in the exact position.

how can i solve this? would changing to mivec fenders help? could it be caused by my absorbers? ( running on HWL adjustables ). i noticed only the SE version of satria's are experiencing this.

help pls... much appreciated...

[arrowhead]

wah somehow u spot my posts real fast. anyway, cant be the way i drive cuz last time u also had that problem. just wanna know how can i solve it... its bothering me... =\

with ur current rims, u dont have that problem?

 

[rollakid]

lol, first time actually see, last time only hear my mech talk about stuff like that. from what he say its more like suspension's mounting, but could be other thing since he expert toyota old school cars only...

 

[PocketRocket]

haha...yes la...y recently oni all this bothering u wan...dun expect much la...its a proton...see,my bodykits diff edi so problem solved...lol

 

[arrowhead]

nola, just now after washing my car, i went across the road to get something from my dads car, took a good stare at my car and i noticed how retarded it looks. its kinda like "mata juling" LOL

sigh.. i guess what u say is true... its a proton..

anyway, u just changed the bumper/sideskirt/rear bumper but not the fender right? like that also can solve the prob? anyways, where was ur old c-west? =Pp guess u sold it long time liao...

it's ur caster.maybe u hit something hard n it move ur lower arm to the rear.
have it check.if what u said is true about all the se satria,then i got nothing
to say.....hehehe.

ya lo...sold it to a SE owner in kemuning...hehe...thinking bout checking back on it soon...miss it la...its the custom work that makes it even again lor...so for EVEN if its SE prob or u whack something, see ur alignment lari alot lo...if u wanna have it checked..mine gone over so many potholes still straight...xD

 

[arrowhead]

hmmmm caster? ok, i will get that checked out on my next visit to my mech.

pocroc : u still using ur OEM fenders.. dont see how ur bodykit could have gotten it center.. >.<

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

lower arm got deformed a little??...

 

[PocketRocket]

u talkin bout the front..? oem fenders la but bumper n sideskirt u see....even out edi

 

[arrowhead]

hmmm.. wonder if i change to mivec fender it would solve the problem? cause i dont really think its my caster or lower arm as it has been like that from the very first day i installed my HWL's.

 

[PocketRocket]

then prolly its the hwl's... are u having prob with ur absorbers? oil leaks n what not?

 

[arrowhead]

not really sure abt that, but i guess if it was leaking, my mech would have told me when he did my allignment the other day...

is there any other way to find out whether its leaking.. ?

 

[zan]

i think has sumthing to do with design.

to confirm this, make comparisons with few similar models

 

[PocketRocket]

oil stain on the tubes?

eh....the Q bout the abs is totally off topic Q u knoe...hahaha

zan : been observing a few cars lately. non-se satria's are fine. seen a few SE, but not lowered. however, theirs also similar to mine. so i guess its all from the factory setting.

pocroc : i heard u got new chick o.O =Pp anyway u still running on 4g15? that day u smoke me, i 5th gear 6000 rpm also cannot see ur tailights... >.<
