Go to a suspension guy, and ask him to check what’s causing this

This matter could be solved .? I am so much concerned.....alignment guy said not to be worried. it happens in many cars because of many potholes and manholes on the street and sometimes deivers have no choice but have to pass through....

Do try one thing jack up the car and try to shake the wheel forwards in backwards by hand. If the wheel shakes then you might have some bushes that are damaged aur the "kainchi" in Pakistani terms is bent.

And this is something serious

Original size is 165-70-R14

this usually happens when front cross member (gadri) gets bad

luckycar (Muhammad) 2018-10-15 07:22:47 +0500 #11

So gadri can be replaced...

luckycar (Muhammad) 2018-10-15 07:23:12 +0500 #12

Is it good to change kainchi.

Yes, It is not bad. If your original has gone bad, it is readily available at good suspension repair guy or he will arrange it for you. It might not be that the whole Kainchi or gadri (Cross Member) is damaged it might be that any bushes are damaged or they need adjustments.

In which city are you residing?

luckycar (Muhammad) 2018-10-15 09:33:59 +0500 #16

I was so concerned ao i parked the car and not driving it. The alignment guy said not to be worried we have seen many cars in the bad condition and there is no issue in driving it . Even he tested my car on express way without holding steering wheel and it was running perfectly.
i am in karachi..

omersiddiqui5482 (omersiddiqui5482) 2018-10-15 09:37:06 +0500 #17

I have driven a car with a broken Kainchi it was just turning to one side a bit and i was hearing a knocking sound of the wheel. you need not to worry you can drive it but it is utmost necessary to get it checked first.

If you have seen Lucky One Mall, There is one shop just opposite to it called M.K Auto those guys are good at suspension work

luckycar (Muhammad) 2018-10-15 09:49:53 +0500 #18

Luckyone is too far and even not my route....but if its necessary i will get it checked at jamshed road as i heard good suspension people are there.
secondly...if i get the bushes replaced...what would be the cost. ....give me a vague idea...
as i want to solve the issue as car is OK so dint want to sell it...

luckycar (Muhammad) 2018-10-15 10:31:02 +0500 #19

honestly i have seen many cars in my vicinity and most of the cars have that issue ...and the owners dont know abt that issue.....
