Title: Does Latio need four wheels alignment?
Post by: alangohek on September 09, 2011, 03:25:30 PM: Hi All,

I was told last year by one of the reputable tyre company (starting with S) that our Latio only two wheels alignment. However, I chanced upon some online articles that suggests four wheel alignment even though a car is front-wheeled drive.

Anyone can advise me please?

thanks

When you go to a workshop which does alignment or to TC at Bukit Timah where they have the alignment machine they'll tell you. Latio has adjustable camber for all 4 wheels and they would run off after prolong usage. Coming from experience from someone who had a Latio for 5.5 years

Sigh....I just went to do alignment. The technician claimed that only front wheels can adjust alignment via toe in and out only. Camber cannot be adjusted unless I install camber bolt. Rear is fixed. Cannot adjust. Therefore i stuck to the default setting based on computer. Guess I will go back and check with him again as I originally wanted the front to have slightly more negative camber.

yup..yup..Bro Kelvin is right lah...Never heard of 4 wheels alignment for latio. I'm driving a SC11 non CVT model unless it is different...else you can try Kenny at AMK..quite famous for his alignment on wheels.

You go tyre shop, be it "S" or "H" they also say front 2 only. Unless you say wheel balancing than it is 4

2 cents worth..

Cheers ;D
