Recommendation of wheel alignment workshop

[Thedream]

This video will help to you to understand why tracking/side slip can be easily solve with a simple toe gauge/side slip tester. No need to use a cow knife to kill a small chicken.

Hope this helps

 

solved? These are just measurement tools and no adjustment is actually done, so any problems are not solved till alignment is done?

First I went to a wk at Woodland blk 38 and did a computerize job. They told me there are some wear on my tires and will take 2-3 months to even out. A month later I send my car to C & C but 2 services I noticed the steering wheel is slightly offset to the left. Can't go back to C & C anymore as my warranty just expired. Decided to replace my rims and tires. When back to the woodland wk. This time he tell me my front right wheel is slighty to the left and need $160 to fix it. I got the feeling this people just try to con me for a simple job. I only use the car to fetch my kids from school, easy driving.

While driving on the highway if I let go of the steering wheel the car drift to the left. I am drinv ga 3 year old B170, mileage 42k.

 

not sure abt 38 woodland workshop but i understand that only some workshops have the wheel configurations for merc. previously i had similiar issues with my eclass~ went ard few workshops providing wheel alignment services but unable to set for merc~ then came across forum and went down to richauto to fix it~

try not to go cheap workshops who are not experienced with mercs~

$160 for wheel alignment???!

 

They must b very happy to "drink" carrot soup + a few slices of abalone thrown in, nt best grade type but better than ikan bilis.

 

Very ex, bro unless more than just alignment done.

 

Safe ride

 

Cheers

 

S$160 is not ex if they fixed the prob~

I am not sure what you are trying to said or where you are coming from. If you have hand-on exprience doing wheel alignment you will appreciate what this video is trying to show. Adjusting toe angle is nothing difficult, doing camber may need more time and doing castor will need more knowledge.

THUMBS UP FOR YOU

i suppose there are few good expert (handson) in town, is just that they is nt many people appreciate the JOB.

many avoid them because of COST and little knowledges from internet found the not justified.

A sideslip just need probably 30mins and a Complete alignment could take up 3-5 hours.

frankly speaking . 160 sgd for alignment . i never heard b4.

 

even for a conti car with 4 wheel aliment and 4 wheel aljust.

 

at most about 120 sgd.

 

if they charge 160 for alignment i think soon the boss drive bm 7 series liao.

I have sent my car to change the 4 stock shocks to koup shock and wheel alignment ( i driving forte and the koup rear shock is shorter than the stock forte shock but anyway it fit)

 

After the alignment is done, both the front and rear wheel camber reading went way off the normal spec.

 

Front left reading is -0.44 (Normal spec is between 0.00 to 1.00)

Front right reading is -0.54 (Normal spec is also between 0.00 to 1.00)

 

Rear left reading is -1.47 (normal is -0.02 to -1.02)

Rear right reading is -2.07 (normal is -0.02 to -1.02)

 

Will the difference in reading caused any future problem if not corrected?? e.g "eating" the tyre inner wall

 

Any expert pls advise and enlightened.

install camber bolt and adjust.

Any recommendation for cheap and reliable alignment svc in the West other than the one at Toh Guan as per recommended? I had a galloping tyre roar after changing my struts but vehicle does not veer.

[Burpmonster]

Bro...make a little extra effort to Kenny's wheel alignment in AMK.

I was also recommended to him by fellow members. Never look back since.

Nice sincere guy who is very forward in every conversation with him. He doesn't beat abt the bushes n very honest with the work. He is not the cheapest in town but surely one of the more knowleable one.

Hope he can help you with your problem

Remember to call him for appt booking cos his workshop are usually pretty packed. :-)

 

Search around in the merchant section for his number n address.

 

Good luck!
