Balancing & Alignment

[najibkl]

Some done the balancing & alignment but then still steering vibrates & "lari" abit on the straight line means the workmanship not so good...

I believe that outside there , millions of u have done, but why only the same ppl share their experience???

 

[kapitan]

I did mine in kepong wo.. beside hong leong bank... quite good coz one person sit in yer car test the steering and another work on the wheel... i heard ppl say this type of on-wheel most accurate one...

THis mean to say the workmanship is suck or the fella doing this totally inexperience, just to save hassle go straight to my dad shop look 4 moon my brother, he will tell u what went wrong and what to do about it. Besure to be early otherwise u will have to wait for quite long b4 they serve u, and one more thing remember to get your que number, yes you need to line up for servicing, cannot do anything too many customer too serve with too few hands to work on those car. Don't worry my grandfather started the business when he is 19 years old now he is already 90 years old still strong, the reason for my dad shop sustain so long is solely they are honest and the work quality is ichiban, thats all!!

Every 10K kilometre normally. Rotation of tyres, nitrogen refill, wheel balancing n alignment.

That nitrogen refill is for your tyres, more comfort becos the tyre can absorb road bump better so that u won't feel so bumpy n the leakage is so much more lesser compare with the normal oxigen. I refill my tyres only once in 3 months.

Rotation of tyres is changing the position of the tyre from back tot he front,all this is the basic stuff you can get them from AAM magazine. Well if you want to go in detail you gotta go to my dad shop they will tell u what u need to do and what no need to do.

The only way is to sent the car back and ask them to recheck the problems. Thats all i can say.

Thousand apology for the unsatisfy work, sent it back for recheck ok?

Has anyone ever encountered a situation where
alignment to a wheel cannot be done?

Two shops told me the lower arm that holds the wheel
is bent. Yet when I tried another one on, the alignment
still couldn't be done. This problem occuers on my
rear right wheel. Both the lower arms for my car are from
a GSR 4WD. Now it's on my wira. I'm not having any
problems with the left side so compatibility can't be the
issue.

The guy who does my body-work said it could be the
bit that holds the lower arm to the body is bent as the
wheelbase on the right side of my car is half an inch
shorter! And this is also the bit of the body itself closest
to the outer body meaning that it's the most vulnerable
to impact (not that the car has ever had a major accident).

Any ideas on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

hello.
my waja is 3 weeks old & already got this steering vibrate when reaching at 120km/h.
i've done my wheel alignment & balancing at Massaga auto subang.
they charge me as follows:
wheel balancing: RM20
wheel alignment: RM25
Rear camber adjust: 2xRM25 = RM50
On wheel balancing: 2 front tyre x RM10 = RM20
Service tax: RM5.75.
Total: RM120
mula2 dia cabut tyre satu2, & buat balancing.
lepas tu, buat alignment pulak.
the rear camber adjust was advised by the mechanic when he showed me at the computer reading that my rear tyre ada sikit lari dari tayar depan.
if that is not adjusted, chances are my rear tyre will makan sebelah saja & corner pun ada sikit lari. so, i pun agree to adjust it. i tengok, macam takde la susah mana pun, dia main ketat2kan skru je kat shaft belakang.pastu, komputer akan bagitahu dah ok ke belum.huh, itu je dah kena RM50??.
lepas tu, baru dia buat on-wheel balancing.dekat 3-4 kali jugak la dia jack my car-adjust-test drive-jack-adjust-test drive.
after all, i'm very satisfied.no longer vibrating at high speed.corner pun rasa ketat.
so what do u guys feels?.is it worth i'm paying that much?

 

[louismhc]

Hmm....about chamber, those ppl change the original screw to those adjustable one (i think for furniture use) can tahan one?! And i heard some ppl say very hard to fix chamber one ?! Any opinion?!
