Me also feel that.. but for me i think it more to do with the road surface.. take the right lane... slightly better..

once you joing BKE ok already right???

I notice this problem arises everytime I exit PIE(towards Tuas) into BKE. And this vibration persist for a few minutes at least when I enter BKE. I am not quite observant on whether there is vibration any other time. But strongly suspect that wheel alignment cause it. Although I am driving latio for 3 years, I got a feeling that I am driving toy car sometimes  :zipped:

If your steering wheel vibrates at speed of 100kmh & above and your car veers to one side on a flat level road when you let go your hand, that means the alignment is out liao. Very cheap to do in JB. Computer wheel alignment and balancing for all 4 wheels cost around S$30 or less.

usually leftmost lane is traversed by heavy goods vehicles - the surface can be rather uneven

especially at bends, the stresses caused by the turning vehicles are greater - resulting in more undulations

Think will do wheel alignment. Went to TC bukit timah last month on the prob. The serviceman said that they check alignment but they dont do. Perhaps will go JB. Which workshop is the easier to find and trustworthy? Will be going autosaver soon for servicing or should I just do at autosaver?
