wheel alignment to fix "kabig"

**prysm_1** · November 21st, 2005 05:37 PM

hi

eto nanaman ako hingi ulit tulong.

My mazda pickup pulls to the right and my rear tires are a bit worn out. I wanted to know does servitek offer free wheel alignment if I buy a pair of kelly tires? Is it more economical to get tires and wheel alignment from different shops? I am bit low on budget somewhere around P5000.00 and was wondering if I can get the "kabig" fixed and buy tires on that budget.

thanks everyone

I don't think so. Free balancing lang. Mga 320 to 360 ang alignment sa Servitek.

Ang full alignment (all wheels) sa Servitek ay less than 1000.

thanks for the replies.

Do you guys have any other ideas what might needs replacement if the vehicle pulls to the right?

I just want to be prepared with the money if incase my car needs more than just a wheel alighnment.

ang layo kasi nung cruven sa novaliches eh. pero tumawag na ko sa kanila. For now nag re-research pa lang ako sa mga posting dito kung magkano yung usual nagagastos. baka kasi pag pumunta ako ng cruven kulang naman pala pera ko sayang naman biyahe.

thanks guys

Here is an update.

I went to Servitek Libis (blueridge carhaus) to have pickup diagnosed and estimates here are the results.

For Labor they estimate a total of 3800.00

For parts
Upper ball joint - 910 x 2 = 1820
Lower ball joint - 1470 x 2 = 2940
shaft link - 1190 x 2 = 2380
Tie rod inner - = 910
Tie rod outer - 770
strut bar bushing - 1120

total is 9940.00

It seems there diagnostics are correct because they showed that these stuff had problems, However here are some comments that I was wondering about.

ball joints = only one side had problems so why replace the other side?
Tie rod = only the inner Tie rod end had problems so why replace the outer?

Not really neccessary to replace both sides. Do the prices include labor charges? Try to canvass sa mga auto supply for the parts. Its cheaper that way kasi kadalasan nagpapatong pa sila.
