Steering Problem

[Apoch]

Ano kayang problema sa EK00 ko? May kabig pa-kanan yung manibela. Sa straight road, pagbinitawan ko yung manibela, pumupunta pa kanan yung kotse. Pina check ko na ang wheel alignment, ok naman daw...Pansin ko mas mababa yung left side (driver portion) ng body kaysa sa right side. (2 fingers sa left, 3 sa right). Thanks in advance.

yung tire pressure sir?.. na major accident po ba yan?

[tip_tipid]

perhaps the front of the car have unequal weight distribution? one side is heavier which results in height difference.

[Apoch]

30psi ang tire pressure ko. Wala pa namang major accident whatsover.
Related kaya yung height difference pati yung kabig ng manibela pakanan?

[v6dreamer]

It sounds like either the wheels are out of alignment, the right tire is low or the right brake is binding.

We have the same ride. Pag binitawan agad-agad ba nag pakanan?

pwede sir.. unequal weight po..

[Apoch]

Yep..Pagbinitawan, kakanan na cya.
I believe common problem ng EK ang di balance ang left sa right, but I'm not sure whether the other owners also experience yung kabig pakanan ng manibela.

Guys, pumunta ako sa bridgestone para i-pacheck ang aking suspension. Sabi nila sira na daw yung ball joints kaya daw may kabig. Tapos, nakita nilang sira na rin yung stabilizer (eventhough di related sa kabig). They are charging me 5.8k for the replacement of the ball joints (left & right), stabilizers (left & right) and wheel alignment.

Question: Fair lang ba yung price na naquote sa akin? Thanks. Magkano kaya kung sa ordinaryong talyer ko ipapagawa? Thanks.

pwede balljoint and problem ... pero ndi pa rin kakabig ... siguro bagsak yung isang side ... try mo rin pa check yung shocks mo ... baka stock up kaya ganun

apoch,
as with any diagnoses, it would greatly help if you put everything in numbers or digitize most it not all of the information. thereby no scientific wild ass guesses. just like when you visit the doctor, the nurse first does a triage on you with the info as height, weight, age, blood pressure, cholesterol level, etc. all in numbers not how the doctor's nor the nurse's guess. the alignment shop is supposed to give you a printout of the alignment readings so as to properly diagnose the problem and the technician is supposed to be able to interpret the numbers. one is one and not two, yomsayin'. the readings youn need for any experienced and trained technician to give a proper diagnosis are:
ride height
tire pressure, condition, tread pattern, size and wear pattern, bias or radial ply and wear pattern if it had been on the road at least 5 miles(they usually tell a story from the wear pattern)
steering axis inclination(SAI)
camber both starboard and port side
king pin inclination
front wheel offset
toe
toe out on turns
rear camber
rear toe
rear tire offset
right side wheel base
left side wheel base
tires must be of the same size, ply pattern, tread pattern and age on the same axle, if bias ply and radial ply tires are used on the same car, install both the radials on the front and both the bias ply on the rear. better yet use all radials, they have less rolling resistance, save you on fuel, and wear longer.

in addition to the above list, the vehicle thrust angle and check for dogtracking (as when the dog is on third speed or running not walking nor trotting, the hind legs are sometimes slightly off to the left or to the right so as not to trip over the front legs)

hi guys! ask ko lang kayo kung bakit, pag pinipihit/kinakabig ko yung kotse ko pakaliwa o pakanan, di ba dapat babalik o iikot siya pabalik? yung sa akin. hindi na umiikot pabalik, kailangan mo pang alalayan..
ano kaya ang possibleng sakit ng oto ko? magkano kaya aabutin nito? at saan ang ok na pagawaan para dito?

salamat sa lahat ng mag rereply.

=)

if you read the related posts recently, it is the KPI or SAI (king pin inclination or the steering axis inclination) which is responsible for returning the wheels to straight ahead position when the vehicle is in motion to self right the wheels to straight ahead.
