Need advise urgently!

[Hadi2Fast2Furious]

Hi fellow ZTH brothers,

I have a few questions regarding problems with my car that I hope any of you could help.
I'm driving a Wira 1.5 sedan. Last year I got into an accident. The left fender of my car got hit pretty bad. My fender got hit sideways by a Waja. Direct hit! Since that accident, I never could get the allignment right.
A couple of days ago, I went to my tyre shop looking for new tyres. When I inspected my current tyres, it makan sebelah. The thing is, it's only ketara on the left side of the car.
My quaestion is, what should I do to rectify this problem? Is it advisable to change to new tyres before rectifying the prob.? Bear in mind, my tyre oredi very botak.
Next question is, how to know what year the tyre is made? Where to read?
Hope you guys can help me...

If botak liao, better you change it first, then check again...

 

[Hadi2Fast2Furious]

But what do u think is the cause of the problem? Is it because of absorbers?

 

[kyheng]

Hope is the tyres giving you the problem, else alot have to check, like chamber nut spoilt and others.

 

[sylkhannaz]

check ur chamber, see if it's kangkang or not. That'll make ur tryre makan sebelah.
how bad was the damage if the accident? That may become a reason too. Check ur tyres and chamber nut first.

 

[khoyos]

maybe u can try changing ur lower arm.

 

[Fluffy]

check the control and lower arms.they might be bengkok due to the accident.

 

[boosook]

to check the year of ur tyre...look properly at the tyre got this 4 digit number.. eg. (0204)..that means its made in FEB 2004...so if u wanna buy new tyres..look for at the latest wan lor..hehehe

 

[rollakid]

yes, check the lower arm and the control arm, as well as the suspension. since you say the waja direct hit your fenders, which i assume it hit your wheel as well, which probably damaged everything that is connected to the wheel.

Thanks guys. Really appreciate ur advise. But one more thing, how to know the lower arm spoilt? don't want the mechanic to cheat me.

 

[Fluffy]

jack ur car up.and the lower arm is the arm that is connected to ur shox's lower mount.

looooookk....at it.

if bengkok then change lor.

 

[khoyos]

u can really see if the lower arm is bengkok. it will somehow look weird or not right.

 

[Fluffy]

since the only prob is the wear on the tyre..i dont think the damage would be VERY obvious...so haf a keen eye.or ask a mech to check it out.

if the arm is VERY badly damaged...or bengkok alot..u wont be driving ur car actually.
