Swift Diesel Steers towards the left. - Page 3 - Team-BHP

tush · 12th May 2008, 18:36

The other swift with stock tyres, is it petrol or diesel? If its Diesel then its great that its not pulling to the left.

Jaggu · 12th May 2008, 22:16

Petrol and as i said earlier, my brief with OE tyres on my own diesel swift didnt show any pull. I was with my usual faster run in mode and apart from squealing on turns didnt have much torque steer to report.

Did you get the alignment done through independent specialist guy?

tush · 13th May 2008, 21:04

I am going this weekend on Saturday untill then i hope someone suggests any specialist for the same.

Jaggu · 13th May 2008, 22:19

hmm Pune guys any leads for a good wheel alignment guy?

tush · 15th May 2008, 17:36

I think Pune guys are sleeping when it comes to Technical Stuff forum. But for ICEing they are always there to answer...

Does any TeamBhpian from Pune know any wheel alignment specialist in Pune.

I would recommend N.Mehta and sons in Swargate , have been going there since the last fours yrs and he does a good job ,

recently i drove a few weeks old DZIRE VDI with 7K on ODO
that car was pulling to the left like crazy
is it a particular problem with diesel swifts,DZIRE?

tush · 16th May 2008, 18:43

Since my complain for this i was called and they rerotated the tyre and checked the alignment but they never prepared a job card... now i doubt if they have fiddled with something more in the car... my steering seems to be stiff then before. It was real smooth and not stiff to move.... I will have to tell them even this now...
Lets see.... first thing alignment from third party.

I have heared the same for Swift DDiS not sure though. Did you confirm that with the service station.

Did he do any adjustment to the camber ?

tush · 19th May 2008, 20:49

nope he just touched the toe.... he showed me... i went underground(whatever its called) and from there he showed me there was a thin rod like connected to both the front RIMS and he let loose the nuts on them and then adjusted by lookin on the computer screen untill it came on green sign from red.....

Hmmm.. Could you feel the difference on your drive back ?
How much moolah ?

tush · 19th May 2008, 20:55

I didn't quite but may be as the road was full of traffic and i didnt get a chance to check that.... but tomorrow morning at 6:30am while my way to office a drive of 10Kms from my home i will come to know. 150 moolah

...
Hope its resolved. And does it void the warranty of my car if i do the wheel alignment from outside maruti?

Thats quite cheap. Does that mean no balancing done ?

And don't worry on the warranty. It will remain as it is.

tush · 19th May 2008, 21:03

Are alignment and balancing 2 different things? If yes then you are right no balancing done. Just alignment. Most of my colleagues told me that alignment charges are somewhere between 150-300....
