Does Latio need four wheels alignment?

[alangohek]

Hi All,

I was told last year by one of the reputable tyre company (starting with S) that our Latio only two wheels alignment. However, I chanced upon some online articles that suggests four wheel alignment even though a car is front-wheeled drive.

Anyone can advise me please?

thanks

I think you must have heard wrongly that alignment need only for 2 wheels. What I heard before is balancing is only required for front 2 wheels. I think alignment needed for all 4 wheels

alignment for latio is only front wheel only.no other adjustment needed for the rear.

Alignment for Latio is for all 4 wheels. When you go to a workshop which does alignment or to TC at Bukit Timah where they have the alignment machine they'll tell you. Latio has adjustable camber for all 4 wheels and they would run off after prolong usage. Coming from experience from someone who had a Latio for 5.5 years

Sigh....I just went to do alignment. The technician claimed that only front wheels can adjust alignment via toe in and out only. Camber cannot be adjusted unless I install camber bolt. Rear is fixed. Cannot adjust. Therefore i stuck to the default setting based on computer. Guess I will go back and check with him again as I originally wanted the front to have slightly more negative camber.

yup..yup..Bro Kelvin is right lah...Never heard of 4 wheels alignment for latio.  I'm driving a SC11 non CVT model unless it is different...else you can try Kenny at AMK..quite famous for his alignment on wheels.

You go tyre shop, be it "S" or "H" they also say front 2 only.  Unless you say wheel balancing than it is 4

2 cents worth..

coming from a latio owner of 6+yrs, only need to do front two 2 alignment as the back wheels are fixed, latio utilise a torsion beam.
Look under the carriage and you will understand.
