    Hi tsikoters...

    need your advice.. yung front right side wheel ng crosswind ko, d pantay kain ng goma. yung outer niya mas pudpod compared sa inner. pero slight lang been using the wheel for more than a year.

    advice sa akin ng iba pabayaan lang daw ganun tlaga sa front. yung iba naman advice sa akin pa wheel allignment.

    Ano sa tingin niyo? totoo ba kung pinaayos ko sandali lang balik na naman sa dati kasi malulubak din naman.

    thanks

    and imho, hindi sa lubak yan... may worn out suspension components ka that causes that excessive toe... most probably, tingin ko dyan is yung tie rod or ball joint. pero mas maganda kung mapa check mo dahil mas mahal ang goma, specially dyan sa xwind mo.

    sa katunayan, isa sa sakit ng crosswind yan. mileage? meron nga after wheel alignment ganun pa rin. at least every 5K kms pa check mo.

    pag alignment ang problem, after the fact mo na kita ang result. Hindi pantay na pudpud ng gulong.

    question:
    what's the ideal number of months / kms of having your alignment/camber checked?

    every 6 months? every x,xxxx km?

    anthon,
    your right tire wears out on the outer side normally if you drive on the right side of the road as in the u.s., australia and the rest of the world except england and japan. it is simple geometry, you take a bigger radius turning left than turning right. when you turn left, specially you make it quicker since the traffic lights in the Peelipins are crazy, when you turn right, the radius is tighter and you don't really see 100% what's around the corner, you tend to turn slower. hence your right front (wheel #2) outer side of your tire tends to wear out faster. have your tire rotated as per owner's manual, or every 20k miles.

    jick, i did that before, now i just rotated the front right side i mean the pudpod area now in the inner side. but i noticed when driving it tends to go to the left a little... naisip ko kasi d ba outer right ng tire is mas makapal kaya mas angat sya so tendency is the tire will go to the direction of the pudpod side which is to the left..

    its manageable naman, very minimal. i brought it to a tire center, they tried allignment and later on suggested camber. d ko muna pinagawa naisip ko baka pareho rin kasi my tire d na pantay kain baka kabig pa rin sya sa kaliwa..

    what do you think? observe pa ako and hayaan muna mapudpod yung outer ko na makapal pa?

    thanks

    anthon,
    if you could give me the following readings, it would be greatlly appreciated:
    caster- left and right
    camber-left and right
    toe
    toe out on turns (TOOT)
    steering axis inclination-left and right
    front wheel set back
    wheel base right
    wheel base left
    thrust angle
    front wheel bearing preload- left and right
    assuming all tires are of the same diameter, tread pattern between left and right, tire pressure readings as per specs, then a pinpoint accuracy diagnosis and recommendation is on the way

    in addition, previous repair history on steering and suspension, accident suffered if any, point of impact and components replaced

    sa madalin salita, kailangan mo ng complete front wheel alignment with correct settings. kung di makuha ang correct settings, malamang na may kailangang palitan sa front suspension components. baka compensated na lang ang alignment ng sasakyan mo kanya ganuon.

Front wheel di pantay kain
