Just align again and try, sometimes the angle and the position matters, sometimes it works and sometimes no, just keep trying.

Keep try until my tyre psi keep dropping 🙃

one of my tyre valve is super close to the rim, had to push it out slightly for the air pump to be aligned straight. not sure whether this will damage the valve in the long run, but you can try using more force to align the valve stem.

Only the same tyre valve got problem or all 4 valves. If all 4 valves is probably the pump head problem. If only 1 particular valve, you might want to get the Valve Core tool to screw the valve core as it may be loose.

The roads are slanted towards left to drain the water so your steering will always like slide a bit if you don't hold it on the e'ways.

If really too off, go back to the installer to check.

Thank you.

Thank you and just a query, should I also change the lower arms? Will it remove the slight freeplay or vibrations on the steering wheel?

I don't recommend change unless it's damaged, the whole construct was meant to be as built/design.

Are you feeling strong vibrations at speeds above 90km/h on the wheel? If so, do high speed balancing on your wheels.

Understand that you have done alignment but do give your car to Wei's Alignment Specialist to do another alignment check.

Did my dugong there recently due to unresolved alignment issues from other shops. Impressed that they performed a hell of racheting and adjustments of my front end alignment in order to resolve the pulling to the left effect on roads at speed.

I do my car alignment at Kenny's, but he's usually packed, so if you drive in, you need to wait until he has time. If not just make a booking.

Fuss free is to do it locally.

Unless you can trust the workshop not to drive the car away during servicing only never to return.

I dunno maybe he is here to introduce a friend whom he spoke with yesterday and happen to have a workshop in JB that can do car servicing and will give discount?
