Question about tyre alignment

[soong2020]

Hi forumers... i got a question here to ask. Normally when we go to tyre shops and ask to adjust alignment, sometimes those workers will say the chamber need to change because the front tyre is somehow out of position. The worker said that it will cause the tyre to "makan" one side when moving. So, he suggested I change the chamber thing to an adjustable one.

Well from what i see the chamber, it's just like a bolt with some adjustable nut, but it cost 40bux! So just wana ask exactly how does it work?

If you already have one, don't change. If you don't have one, changing it is optional. Camber of -0 to -2 degrees won't hurt much.

For example, honda civic EG doesn't have any camber adjustments unless buying its camber kit for couple of hundred of bucks. I have been running negative camber for so many years and it doesn't affect my tyres. I am a daily user normal user, no effect.

RM40 for that thing is a little over priced.

Just my 270 cents.
