Yup, sometimes can become better......for me it does.....Also another thing, if a tires are not run-in 100% yet, will there be any effects like vibrations?
If you have done on wheel balancing, it may require balancing again, if you remove the wheels out to fit the cover. If you do not want to balance again, ask the guy taking out the wheels, to mark and place the wheels back into the same lug holes. This is because on wheel balances the shafts and everything connected. By shifting the lug holes the weight may be different. Has happened to me before. Now, I try to do off wheel balancing, this way the wheels need not be marked....Yea need to scout around.
By the way, anyone knows if let's say I add a brake caliper cover, would it somehow disturb the wheel balancing and I'll need to redo balancing again?
Didn't know Quicksave is open on Sunday, did a bit of searching and they did not mention that they are open on Sunday. So I ended up going to Lim Tayar in SS2 since it's nearer to my place too and they redo the off-wheel balance for me first (RM9 per tire). At the moment, there's still vibration so I think I may need on-wheel balancing, at a shop with good reputation for alignment and balancing.Yup, sometimes can become better......for me it does.....

You can try Kee Hin is Old Klang Road. Weng Tat in Subang. Weng Tat and Quicksave are opened today (Sunday) but until 3pm only. Weng Tat maybe 4pm...
So Quicksave does a decent job for alignment and balancing right? If so then I'll have them check mine.Quicksave normally do not open on Sundays. Near the bigger festive season like Hari Raya, Maybe X'mas and CNY he will open on 2 Sundays before the holidays, then he also closed longer for the holidays too. Something to compensate his long closure.....
So this & Next Sunday he will be opened.
Lower profile tyres should not vibrate too when they are in balance. I am using 45 series and they are okay.
Lim Tayar, I have heard the camber thing from other forums also.....looks like many places doing it.....
yup... it happened to me on my LSD gearbox... LSD gb is more difficult to balancing... they have to compensate left n right tire several times to get accurate balance... i owned the car for 6 years with 4 years of vibration at 120km/j... another 2 years cruise in happinessAnyway, balancing actually need some skills. If that person not so skilful or experienced, there will still be vibration.
But since I've tried off-wheel balance at another shop, I think I would like to head over to an experienced shop to do my on-wheel balancing.I have done a few times at Quicksave without problems, but then my wheels, tyres and car are different. You seems to be running around paying for the balancing. Why not stay with say Lim Tayar as you have already paid them so they have to rectify the vibration.
Yes, if the car body vibrates as high speed, probably is the rear wheels out of balance.
Yea, I can't think of anything wrong except for the rims/tires because the car is still considerably new, about 3 months old only. However, I believe that sometimes doing a wheel balancing will require few times to get it right as well because maybe the foreman couldn't get it accurate the first time?So far last time on wheel can solve (for me that is), but I don't like, because every time do repairs to brakes or anything that requires removing the wheel, sometimes start to vibrate again, even though fit back to same lug holes.....
There's no apparent dent but it seems that when the wheel is spinning, can see like the rim isn't perfectly round.One of the rims not round? Problem now, if you go back the tyre shop you brought rims from, can say you dent it. But if new rims, should not be.
Anyway even with slight dent can still be balanced, as one of my Sonata wheel is running like that without vibration.
The on wheel balancing machine, many shops also have. But some sifus do on wheel without the sitting machine.....
Tayar Tiong eh? Are the staffs there knowledgeable and have a good customer service?Tek Ming may have. Have not seen in Quicksave. Tayar Tiong in SEA Park have.
Weng Tat uses the car engine to rotate the tyres......
