which DS u changed to new? the short one?
from my experience the short ones are the same as pv6, so can be bought new.
the long one either u recond it or search at halfcut.

other factors that can cause vibrating, check rim for any signs of bengkok, tires bengkak, check lower arm, tie rod end, rack end, absorber link bushings etc.....

worst case scenario change steering rack.

absorber so far ok.. vibrate when exceed 90kmh. but after another round of fixing, 90kmh still got vibrate but when hantam above 105kmh very less goyang. steering and pedal also got vibrate. on wheel balancing countless time...lower arm etc checked ok

The wheels hub, or whatever you call it, a small ring/alike fit into a small gap in middle of the nut after open your wheel.

sexycar, camber test, i think got do on 1st repair. yeah myself was thinking to swap back rims to front too coz all the while we focus on front only. also im looking for other rim to test since now the problem kinda isolated to 90 - 105kmh vibration only. at work place so got to wait few more weeks before cuti and test again. meanwhile, thanks all for input

On wheel balancing, you should be able to see/feel it vibrate or do you mean during on wheel no vibration?

its not 3 parts, its 2+1 parts the long 1 consists of 2 DS, some ppl call it DS gantung (famous among wira convert evo owners, quite a rare item though). but my long DS was 1 long piece.

The lone DS is in 2 parts, they try to even out the drive shaft final part to be same as the other one in length so that can minimize torque steer....
