Steering Wobble Goes Away!

The steering wheel wobble between 90-120 KMPH goes away. Two key observations:

1. If you put your foot down and push for a fix, the issue will be fixed. The way to do it is to come across as a partner to service advisor to resolve issue rather than "i dont care, i want it fixed" client. Don't be passive aggressive. Once the trust is established, it is amazing the way the issue troubleshooting happened.

2. The issue was with bent rim. Changed both front rims at a cost of 2000 INR. Car rides like new.

Completed a 1000 KM Bangalore to Kodai round Trip. ODO reads at 90300 KMs.

Next service due at 99000 KMs. Will try shell petrol pump/friendly neighborhood garage rather than concorde. Reason: labour costs. Plan to get the repairs done (if any) that need parts replacement at Concorde, but routine service such as oil changes etc at FNG.
