Looks quite symmetrical....why align in the first place ?

Re: can anyone help tell me what this alignment report means pls..

cause recently changed tyres and the first shop did a pretty bad alignment job. car felt rly wobbly at 110kmph and was pulling heavily to one side.....

That is more with balancing the wheels......

edit - actually if pulling one side then need to check alignment .....

Someone told me if steering turn left or right itself, alignment maybe wrong.. Have to go back to AD for new car to rectify. Is it true?

No issue, good alignment. Did you do it at kian teong auto?

Re: can anyone help tell me what this alignment report means pls..

This printout is same as Kian Teong. Maybe i should go align mine as well together with balancing.

E90? Numbers look alright, though front camber very conservative. Front can dial up to -2 degrees from current neutral.

Re: can anyone help tell me what this alignment report means pls..

if not alignment or bushes, which means it's ur tyres and tyre pressure...which brand...? Never encountered any pulling feel when driving.....my car tyre pressure- 19" 36 psi fr and 40 psi rr conti 5p--- 20" 37 psi fr and 42 psi rr pss

Bro im using Goodyear f2.. 19'' 39psi front and 38psi rear. is there any recommendation on the psi?

Bro can u elaborate abit on what u mean by conservative, and what is the difference if i go -2 degrees. newbie here.. thanks in advnace..

More aggressive means you can cup corners better.

hoho.. i think i should go back to ask them already..... dunno why they put so conservative for me,

 

[manggi12]

Re: can anyone help tell me what this alignment report means pls..

if you are using 235/35/19 front, the pressure too high...anyway if you are going back to them, ask them to check the pressure for you...and notify them about the pulling thingy...they are quite helpful...

Nothing wrong being conservative. Mike could have asked you whether you drive hard, and if the answer is no, he will not set aggressive offsets for your front.

Many people explained the steering veer phenom in many ways - some blamed the roads, some suggested that our rides are never symmetrically weighted (left-right) in the first place...... fact is, the best solutions are still in the alignment numbers in camber, toe and caster.

If it is a tyre pressure/uneven wear issue, get Mike to scrutinise it. Might have to bring down to tyre shop for a check.

If it is a hardware issue, it is more problematic. Gotta check steering components (such as tie rods, rack and pinion, column couplings) on your next servicing.
