Hello gurus in d house. Suddenly noticed my siena wobbles while in slow drive. Taking it out for alignment, d guy pointed a t d front passenger side wheel as shaking n when a mechanic removed d tyre to find out why dis, he also noted a bearing wearing out. Well, he charged 3k plus 1.5k labor for d work. To pay wasn’t any problem as I needed solution as fast.

Amazingly, after changing d bearing, d same problem is still there. Well, I think to cover up for dis, he further said we need to change ‘cambal bushing’. At dis point I stopped him from further extortion & playing on our ignorance.

I tend to see d problem as small as against d way d mechanic wants to paint it. Pls what do u think could be responsible? Does dis hav to do wt ‘cambal bushing’? Tks in adv.

cambal bushing= go and scan your car

Its called Camber bushing, not Cambal.

Its purely mechanical. A lot of front end parts would give you that symptom when faulty. Wobbling? I hope its not your tyre?

I agree with Ikenna, most likely its your tyre.
our tyres can be funny they can twist just by hitting a pothole or evenon their own.
You could check by rubbin you palms round them you might feel a bulge or at a reputable tyre service center.
if you do this and nothin atleast you've ruled out the tyres.

its something which is mechanical it needs visual inspection

Any of the 2, including you, can detect the faulty tyre(s). I would check the 4 tyres, if I were you.

NOW RESOLVED!!!

Tks all. We simply traced d problem 2 one of d back side tyres being bent. As we replaced dis wt d spare tyre, d car regained balance.

Nairaland for real!
