Finally it happened. The very thing that I was worried when I got this car 5 years ago. The need to change all the tyre due to age, wear plus tear. Originally send the car just to do alignment but notice a huge puncture wound on the drive shaft rubber. Tyre condition was just 10% left and have passed the expiry date of 5 years. It was a timebomb waiting to happen. After much discussion with my parents, we decide to chagne all 4 and replace the drive shaft rubber altogether with the alignment. Hefty cost but is was definitely a fair trade in the name of safety.

Removal of the drive shaft. A lot of knocking with a huge hammer. A bit kin teo watching they remove it.
He is smiling because he just made a 1K sales this morning. Pretty nice shop owner, he is willing to tell you a lot of thing about car and tyres.
Done. Another 5 year cycle to go.
