    Mga bro, dinala ko auto ko kanina for a 4 wheel alignment. Ang ginawa, 2 alignment sa front, 1 camber adjustment sa rear.

    Pansin ko nung pauwi na ko, medyo bumigat yata yung pagkabig or yung steering. di ko alam kung mali lang talaga yung alignment ko bago ko pina-adjust kaya magaan dati, o dapat magaan parin ngayon.

    auto ko po pala is lancer itlog 96 GLI. newly repaired suspension and power steering. one finding po pala is mejo di equal on both sides ang front caster ko. could that be the reason sa pagbigat ng steering?

    input po mga gurus. salamat!

    a few factors in change of steering effort requirement are:
    low power steering assist
    too much positive caster
    low tire pressure
    worn out ball joints
    worn out tie rods
    binding linkages
    bigger size tires than what is prescribed by the manufacturer
    any one of these or a combination of these possible factors increases the steering effort dramatically

    ano ang ginawa sa newly repaired suspension at power steering?
    walang adjustment for camber at caster sa front ang lancer. toe lang
    ang ina-adjust.

    Computerized alignment ba ang ginawa? If so makikita mo sa print out before & after kung ano ang situasyon ng gulong. Normally 2 weeks warranty ang alignment. Balik mo sa pinagawaan.

    thanks mga bro sa replies. it's been a while since I last posted here.

    yep computerized alignment. naibalik ko po sa pagawaan pero same parin results. I tried another alignment sa ibang shop, it turns out hindi aligned ang toe, pero camber was ok.

    ano ang ginawa sa newly repaired suspension at power steering?
    walang adjustment for camber at caster sa front ang lancer. toe lang
    ang ina-adjust.
    sa power steering, pinalitan ang steering boots, mga goma/bushing ng rack end pinion, tie rod, tie rod end, palit ng shocks and lowering spring. sure po ba na walang camber adjustment ang front ng lancer? ang napa-camber align ko nga lang ay ang rear. pero nakita ko naman, ok pa ang camber ng front ko.

    salamat po uli sa mga help mga bro. in summary, ang nangyare eh hindi daw calibrated ang computer ng unang shop na nag-align. at least that's what the 2nd shop claimed. and sabi ng 2nd shop na theirs was newly acquired just 1 month so they are sure that theirs is calibrated. naging ok naman na ang steering, super gaan nga lang. now I don't know if that's another issue

    Di kaya magaan sobrang gaang ng steering mo before ka mag pa repair and alignment? The tightness of your steering could be attributed to the new components of your car. Baka yan ang stock feel nyan. Pede rin na over tighten yun screw (if ever there is one) sa gearbox mo. Check mo din play ng steering.
