O.T ka nga bro, hahaha. sa suspension boards toh (mods pa transfer na lang) thanks.. hahaha..
pero i'll answer na din your question, pag ang vehicle sir ay naipa-camber alignment at perfect na ang wheel alignment specs, hindi na sir yan magbabago, unless
1. change tire rods
2. change in suspension height
3. change on other suspension aspects and geometry...etc

pero kapag nagsisimula ka pa lang( wala pa baseline) with a newly acquired vehicle(second hand) its better to have a complete wheel alignment para you are sure that the wheel and suspension are indeed aligned...
( wheel and suspension alignment ay malaki epekto sa wear and tear nang tires sir, plus safety)
on another note, pag ang tires naman ang meh uneven wear when you got the vehicle, it will affect the steer movement of the vehicle, papaling din to one side.

usually ang unang mapapansin pag hindi aligned, pumapaling sa isang side ang vehicle when driven on a straight even road...and mas malakas ang wear ng tires on one side compared to the other..

its best to have you car aligned in a computerized, honest shop... para sure and correct...

camber is measured and adjusted with the front tires are pointed straight ahead, the tie rod does not in any way affect camber. tie rod adjustments only affect the toe

ahaha.. unga pala.. my mistake, tie rods control the toe,
the camber is controlled by an adjustment bolt on the lower A-arm bolts pag coil ang front,
pag torsion bar ang harap, camber is adjusted through the Shims on the upper A-arm...

medyo back to topic question lang po mga sir.... Ang mga gas station service ba kaya gawin itong Cylinder Head Gasket and yung flushing ng radiator ng maayos or do I need to go to a certain shop? balak ko kasi ipasabay sa change oil and tune up sa Petron gas station malapit sa amin para isang lugar na lang...

If not, are there any recommendation about sa shops and whatnot? Manila area po. Also how much ang price range ng Cylinder Head Gasket?

Not too sure about the cylinder head gasket but radiator flushes are fairly simple.

Drain, fill with flushing detergent mix, run engine for specified time, flush again. Flush again for good measure, and refill with coolant mixture.
