i went to a big tyre shop in glenmarie.How to do this exactly to know how many degree you have pressed?
they have a pressing machine.
first, they put my car on the alignment machine to calculate how much camber i have. (example -2.0° camber)
then, they jack up my car and they take out the tyre.
then, they measure degree of the hub using a water leveller (penimbang air). (example +1.0° camber. logic: if we to jack up the car, the tyres will go down and like cambered inside, rite?)
so, they need to press my knuckle to +3.0° camber (with the car jacked up).
then, they take out the knuckle (unscrew from upper and lower arm, and take out the hub too)
then, they press the knuckle using the pressing machine.
then, put the knuckle back on and calculate if the pressing is enough.
then, press again if not get +3.0° camber.
so, if the knuckle pressed to +3.0° camber, install all back.
and put it on to the alignment machine back to calculate the work.
hopefully can get 0° camber la.
but when i did mine, my left and right camber was around -0.1°, i'm afraid if i press further, i may get +ve camber pulak.. (because u can only control the pressure and timing of the pressing machine not how much degrees u want for the knuckle. if too much pressure or too long, the knuckle may bent too much to +ve.)
so, when it get around -0.1°, i said to the foreman, ok la.
