..sorry bro... a bit kelam kabut laa that day... heheh
ok ok.. .the story goes like this... hmm like every time i go for wheel alignment.. the mech always remind me..."allo kawan...you punya toe sudah lari -3++....nanti tayar makan dalam ooo.." i was like ignoring this... until one fine day... i asked him how to solve it... that was when he told me to fix the knuckle... hmmm i asked him.. was it the arm?... nope.. he insisted on the knuckle...
...yesterday i went to a different tyre shop... well.. this time they asked me to pump up my chamber..... since mine is an e30.. they told me this is possible...
so i think i'll update u guys later... have to wait for my car to come out from the workshop 1st today... hehe guess what... my ol'lady will have discs all around her.. hahahaha... hehehe.. then only i'll fix the chamber or knuckle.. or whatsoever lah... 1st thing 1st.. heheh

p/s:...on top of that.. my steering rack is still leaking.. :blush:

Our UDM chamber shld not be pumped, any model. Dont listen to the guy, get someone that knows better.

Pumping will reduce the rigidity of the part, which is dangerous IMO.

thanks a lot guys.. i haven't done anything to the knuckle nor pumping up the chamber...
......about pumping the chamber.. the mech was supposedly to be very experienced with conti cars...& he did warned me about the bearings....that's why i gave it a2nd thought.... perrghh nasib lah!!!

just got my car... and i'll search some more... and if i can't do anything about it.. i guess i'll have to live with it and keep on rotating the tyres... phhuiih....

btw...fab.. thanks for the pic... i'll update u when i really know which is the actual one...

thanks bro!!... really help me a lot... heheh... :yahoo:
