    I had 4 tires replaced last month. The shop told me that the front of my car needed camber correction and wheel alignment. They showed me the numbers on the screen and so I agreed. I have had this done before with my AE101 and had no problems. I didn't feel good and cringed as I saw the mechanic hitting on the part (dunno what it is called) to correct the numbers. Looking back, I should have just told him to stop.

    As I was driving home I noticed that my car had loud kalampag coming from the front driver's side of the car!!! Before I had my tires replaced, it drove like it were brand new. It's a 5 year old car that's 100% quiet, cool AC, fresh interior. I took pride in that! No kalamapag whatsoever so I was very disappointed with the kalampag after replacing my tires!!!

    I don't know how to have this repaired. I am desperate because I have become irritable driving my car with kalampag and I don't feel safe with all the noise I am hearing. Baka bigla na lang humiwalay gulong ko sa auto My Mom also made a comment that my car has kalampag! The shop said I should bring the car back within 6 mos for a free camber correction and alignment but I am hesitant baka lalo nilang sirain.

    I just paid P18,400 to make my perfectly quiet car drive like a taxi!!! One thing I noticed though was the steering became lighter after I replaced my tires. I am not sure if that was the trade off for the kalampag. But I would rather have a "just right" steering with no kalampag than light steering with kalampag.
