Wheel balancing, alignment, camber adjustment, and tires rotation

After coming back from Genting, the next day I heard some funny sound coming out from the front of the car. It becomes so irritating and worrying that I brought it to Vision Auto to have them check it out, and also getting the wheels to be rotated & realigned.

They can't diagnose what is the problem because they couldn't hear a single noise. But, the mechanic told me that the camber of the car has to be readjusted because it is seriously misaligned.

The whole thing cost me RM 135.45. The noise disappeared after this service but it came back again after a few days. The irritating thing is that it does not come out all the time; sometime I would hear it and sometime I would not hear it. The mechanic told me not to worry about the sound because as long as it does not affect the driving significantly, then it should be fine.

Right now my choice is to bear with that irritation for a while until it became prominent; otherwise it's really hard to see what's going on with it. Probably I was just doing wheel related services, so I will have to wait until next time to have a full service check-up, which they would perform computer diagnosis, and hopefully they could rectify the problem by then.
