Kytl68 Neutral Newbie May 2, 2004 Share May 2, 2004 Go to Malaysia if you need high-speed balancing (on-wheel) .. it will cost you alot lesser I think about RM$10-12 per tyre. For front set it will cost you about RM$20 .. Singapore easily S$30. Thatis if you are going to Malaysia anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnchong Neutral Newbie May 3, 2004 Author Share May 3, 2004 ok, the tire shop balanced the wheels already. now the vibration at high speed is gone. But i still feel tat it drifts slightly to the left... Hmmm, can i do alignment at Kah Motors? Since I do servicing there anyway... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeobh 4th Gear May 3, 2004 Share May 3, 2004 (edited) Not a serious problem, probably a slight adjustment on the toe will cut out the crab-like movement (technical term - tyre scuffing or side slip ) Edited May 3, 2004 by Yeobh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeobh 4th Gear May 5, 2004 Share May 5, 2004 Pulling to one side at high speed braking can be due to a) both front tyre are not of the same make and model b) both front tyres are at different stage of wear c) Loose tie rods, ball joints or front wheel bearings d) The diference in brake force of both front wheel is more than 10% ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
