Sent the car for wheel balancing even b4 1000km. More steering wheel
vibration. Is Waja that difficult to balance.

Happened to my Kelisa too which vibrated at the first day at 100 km/h.
Sent the car to almost like 10 times for wheel balancing but the result is
still vibration. Some say tyres, some rims. But ultimately the Rawang SC
(jap who checked my car) says the engine mounting not tightened acc to
specs) After that ok.

Is this happening to my waja again? Checked with my fren who has a waja.
Same problem.

Dun ask me to do onwheel balancing cos it will hurt the tyres badly.

don touch the camber if possible cos your car dem new! normally is
because of the tyres! if done so many times yet to be fix!
maybe they need to added 2 pieces of rubber onto the steering bushes! try
and see how is the result!

Kalau stering masih bergegar walaupun selepas wheel balancing, pegi kedai
yang boleh buat 'on wheel balancing'.

Tapi dari pengalaman saya, selepas tukar rim ke rim lain yg berkualiti
(yg ada VIA spec).. masalah selesai.

the VIA spec is some quality assurance, similar something like SIRIM,
make sure dont buy JRD... extremely low QC control product...
