TDs mean test drive.
The vehicle was again put on lift after the fine tuning and checked for equal turning in both directions.
So hopefully, things should remain fine!

Re: Tata Safari Brake Failure. EDIT: Solved

Hi Tanveer - Help me understand, did you ask the Service centre to decrease the turning radius beyond the prescribed limit, and therefore, this resulted in whatever you went through?

Reason i ask is two fold.
1. By improving the turning radius , is this such a drastic improvement?
2. Is it risky to do this or is it just that this service centre didnt do a good job of it

Glad that you could notice the issue and take action.

No. I went to the service center and told them oil is leaking. After 4 days I get my car back with no oil leaking. ZF(the mfr) did an overhaul for 5000, Tata took 1038, and 12% the govt stole. So 6700 rs later, there was no leak.
Little did I know, what kind of trouble I was going to get into.
