    In preparation for the alignment service, refueled the car to about half tank level.


    Before leaving, checked the tyre pressure and the RR tyre that got nail in the tread lost 0.2kgf/cm2 over the last 3 weeks.

    Continuing with the pre-inspection before visiting the alignment place.


    All of the bushes were getting tired and lots of hair line cracks were observed.
    It’s the same on my NSX and I can feel the sudden changes in load at fairly early
