Wheel Alignment & Camber Angle adjustment - Need Suggestions

[alam2632]

So I went to AutoExpress Lahore for wheel alignment issue, as the car (WagonR) tilts towards the left when steering is straight, they analyzed it with their machine and pointed out that camber is out, the angle was ~1.31 degrees on the left front wheel. They said, it's better to adjust the camber first and then do wheel alignment, and the charges for camber adjustment is 4000 PKR.

Wanted to ask, if the charges are reasonable and the shop is good enough for the work or should I go to other shops in Lahore?

Thanks for the suggestion, I will look into it.
Also, how about H&M and Ishaq Wheel Alignment shops? Any experience or review from these shops?

No idea brother but the one i recommended knows us since 3 decades..... i still remember in 1990 when our Nissan Sunny rear cambers got i remember we took the car to random wheel allignment people in Lahore and found this guys Father who made them correct.

Even he made my Civic Exi 2005 rear cambers ok.... and my Grande too when i accidently crossed a breaker late night once and right camber got out.

He will take you down the ramp and show you which wheel is out.

Inshallah you will be satisfied.

Sorry for an off-topic thing. Can you suggest a good mechanic for suspension , the one who knows in detail for example which specific grade greases to put on which suspension part

[khuram2703]

My experience is you use CAT Grease.... here is the Pic.... its color is Greenish blue.... i guess no one in the market will be able to guide u better.

Baghdadi Mechanic for suspension Gulberg (street adjacent to Iqbal book Corner).

Thank you for sharing. Where is it available?
Well, there are more than one grease to be applied specific to the part. And yes you're right there are no mechanics who know exactly what to use

[khuram2703]

Our Purchaser used to bring it from Brandrath road however for Authenticity Allied Engineering Caterpiller Gensets dealer are the main source....

We also import grease for our alternators with the brand Kluber but its 400g pack is dam expensive.... Rs. 40000/- and above

So I went to Ishaq Alignment Shop as it was near to my University. After 1.5 hrs. of waiting, I got my turn, I asked them to check the camber too while aligning the wheels, alignment was bad even though AutoExpress guys did it. After alignment, they said there's no issue of camber and only proper alignment was required.
Now, there's a significant difference in drive compared to last time. And, it only costed 300/-
I am new to this repairing and mechanic stuff but these AutoExpress are real bad. They are usually free, no customer there. While, Ishaq's shop was buzzing. Work speaks for itself.
