when i'm travelling on a straight road and i take my hands off the steering wheel, my car will start to veer towards the left. i'm guessing the wheel alignment is screwed.
did any of you experience the same? since under warranty i assume C&C can fix it?

no no no. alignment not covered under warranty. unless your car is like 1000km mileage. you got to pay for the alignment service. Dun go C&C. Go outside to do. Maybe Ban Hin at defu lane is good and cheap.

I do enginer oil change + Wheel rotation + Wheel Aligment + high speed wheel Balancing = 80Rm only!!!!!!! its like 40 sing dollars.... CHEAP!!!! Dirt CHEAP!

The price is around $50-$100 range... To me i just go stamford to do alignment think $60.... You dun need to do it too frequently. After alignment when you rush through a hump you already start loosing alingment liao.... Too me if the person doing it is very precise also no use...

Point to note, correct alignment will give different feedback from the steering... Not to mention safety issues too...

Yo bro, Alternatively, you may want to try high speed wheel alignment. This is a special method of aligning your four wheels so that they don't veer on either side much if not at all calculated on an approximate rate of normal hihway speeding and slightly above it.. You can try Monggo Motions at Pandan Loop. Ask for Connie or Vincent. Good Luck!!!! Oh yeah, I almost the last I did it cost me $60. Try it, may alleviate your problem if not solve it completely. Been on this forum for a while and it seems that wheel alignment seems to be a "congenital" problem for most Kia cars, esp. Cerato. Good Luck, bro!!!!

Yep, Bro!!! Danisan could be right, you know? Get someone who is an expert to diagnose the problem, cause it's really to find that the problem returns even after spending that amount of money. Good advice from Danisan!!

Good Luck, bro!!!! is high speed wheel alignment the one where they spin each wheel individually and put some weights on the rim thereafter? i had tht done when i changed my rims so i thot what i need now is the 4 wheel computerised alignment?
