The steering will be adjusted by him after a few days. as for the bill is concerned, i find the item at 5 to be expensive, while the others are normal as per my view. have u given the reference of pakwheels?

Moreover, the kabli axles were replaced or what was done?

Yes bro i have told him about pakwheel and zulfiqar too. well the labor charges are too much, i showed this bill to another charade specialist guy, he told me that he charged 14k for labor instead of 5 to 7 maximum,

the Shockers could be Replaced in 6k price , then whats the repaired cost in 4500 rs?
Steering Repair , either the Qabli Steering cost 4 to 5k Maximum in replacement for Charade
the back Shocks can not be Repaired or Serviced either
the Press Bearing is always included in the Repairing or labor cost. this work could be done in 12 to 14k max at other shop . well i have been listening his name for years from this forum so in my opinion the price is very high as compared to market rates. Better try somewhere else and fix the price before starting the work.

For Steering i will visit him after few days if its doesnt get normal

damn
such a thick bill for such an old car
this is nothing for newer cars
but old car owners do not spend that much and like this usually and workshops do warn before such charges
ps
kudos to you for arranging so many little parts and brining this car back to life bit by bit

Indeed bro.. and only replaced things are Axle and bearings, if we Remove those cost the labor cost for repaining is 14k .

Actually i replaced Shocks and Steering 2 months back from Shafiq more they were Qabli Costed me 7k for both things .

Now after Steering Repiaring its like a Truck Steering its much Hard Cant even turn from one hand .

kudos to you for arranging so many little parts and brining this car back to life bit by bit

Yes bro slowly slowly i have Sourced its parts from different people in karachi, i found one guy who have its all parts means body parts , he often go to shersha and brings parts from there and resell them in reasonable price. i bought the Steering for 4200 rs from him and other items including Seat blets , Display Console in 3200 rs

Update, I did Allignment of Charade..

And Did Oil Change, the Chamber Screw was loose So replaced the Chamber Screw, After inspection from mechanic the Seal of AXLE was leak which was put my Afzal Bhai i called Afzal to inform him about the Axle Seal leak and Steering is like too heavy. so he said he will free the steering and will put axle seal too.

[syedfaizan1]

Remaining Stuff is i was thinking

Viper motor Working issue
need to intsll Washer of Khyber or Alto Washer motor System
Need to install EPS in it.
need to install Fancy Antenna on Number plate

[nnabeel]

The axle boot seal getting leaked is not a problem it can be changed. however, make sure the allignment wala didnt mingled with the steering rack adjsutment screw which is to be adjusted by Afzal Bhai.

The steering adjustment setting is done after few days of rack repair.

The guy Saleem is a nice guy in johar and both he and pappu are oldest in this area.

[nnabeel]

dont go for the EPS untill ur steering is rockhard. these old cars have a bit stiff steering as compared to newer small cars. charade have a very soft steering if it is in good shape or repaired perfectly.

Afzal gives warranty and if u getting any noises, go and check.

[supraman2jz]

With Afzaal, you will keep going back to him again and again. Go to MK autos on Sagheer center, they know these cars better, and are economical too.

[nnabeel]

bhiao aisa kuch nahee. but yes theres always rooms for adjustment needed with every mechanic and suspension guy.

MK autoes is definetley old, but there are various examples where some ppl enjoyed getting work from them and some dont. Same goes with afzal.

and if any of the recommended mechanics and suspensions wala dont meets the expectation, then they should be reported.
