e34 Wheel Allignment

[PenangMari]

Anybody know where is a good place to do wheel allignment for my e34 somewhere around PJ or Shah Alam? Understand that only those who understand BMW setting can get it right.Thanks

1. Sunny Carcare - good but expensive
2. YS Kong (Taman Mayang, further along from Harry Bright) - they are familiart with E34.
3. Dunlop shop in Subang SS15 (near EON Bank) - look for Ah Keong
4. Pirelli centre at Glenmarie.

I have been to all of them to do alignment for my E34, nothing to complain.

Make sure the thrust bushings are ok before doing alignment. If the bushings are shot, the alignment work may be dodgy.

cheers.

Thanks. How do I know my e34 thrust bushing condition?

Take is to a bmw workshop. they'll be able to tell you.
Or a rough guide would be,
1. Does your steering have the shimmies at 70-100km/h.
2. Does the steering vibrate/judders when you brake hard.
3. Severe pull to either direction during braking (2).
4. Drive slowly and have someone watch your front wheels when you brake. Does the front wheel deflect backwards? The deflection shouldn't be too obvious.

can't think of anything else at the moment...
hope it helps.

cheers.
