I have change tyres do balancing, do you koe how much to do alignment...

[Ken_leong]

Balancing definitely have to do especially when you change tyres. So in your case, you have to do do balancing and not alignment.

If you found your driving on a straight road drifting to 1 side, then you need to do alignment.

If you found your driving on a straight road drifting to 1 side, then you need to do alignment.

===========================

 

Alignment consists of 3 items. Castor, camber & toe-in/out.

 

Not necessary the car will pull to one side if any 1 of these r out. A good computerised 4 wheel alignment wil check all these & put them right if possible. Then your car is travelling straight & true as per manufacturers requirments.

 

Changing rims and/or tires, it is advisable to do a computersied 4 wheel alignment just to make sure the new set is tracking the road properly.

 

Some tire shops say no need lah but remember if the alignment is out, your tires wear out faster & guess who wil make more $$$ from u then.

Balancing should be maximum $10 per tyres.

i paid $10 for balancing all tyres when i rotated em...

[Maxngck]

ya, balancing and alignment is totally 2 different thing lor

[Getz_76]

But i heard the mechanics saying that once you change tyre, its best to do alignment too.

[Ken_leong]

Balancing yes, alignment I don't think so bah.

[Ken_leong]

Wow. Where you do it? You got that price when you did rotation alone or when you did together with other stuff?

[Grubbyrex]

i got my tyre rotation lifetime free thruout the tyre life and free patching for minor(nails etc) :)

I got new 18" rims and CSC3s at Stamford a few days ago .. was told to come back in a few days to do alignment. First time this has happened to me.

If you do not know your original alignment specs (ie before you changed tyres and rims) it's good to do an alignment.

 

It might be good for people who intend to change their tyres/rims anytime soon to LOOK at your own old tires and see how the wear is like. The wear pattern of the 4 tires are visual clues to your alignment and from there you can decide whether an alignment is necessary after a wheel/tire change.
