All, my ride was previously ok, able to travel straight with my hands off the steering.

But for the last ~ 2mths, it started to veer quite badly to the left (maybe 10-15degrees immediately after letting go of steering). Went Autobacs (Loyang) twice to do wheel alignment, it got better but still veers left (mayb 5-10degrees 3secs after letting go of steering). The mechanic told me that it's normal since no road is perfectly straight, but i don't recall my ride having such problems in the past 1yr.

I thought it was due to tyre pressure and tyre rotation, so i got my rims changed, tyres rotated and tyre valves changed. Still the same problem.

I didn't hit any kerbs, no accidents before.

Any bros out there can advise what could be the source of the problem?

Thanks in advance.

pardon me...but what is a camber kit?

Anyway, went to Bro Kelvin and he swapped the front left and right tires and it solved  the problem  :yehyeh:
