Monday, May 4, 2015

AHW308 is now almost one-year old OTR. Just clocked around 20,000km. Its the time for another round of under_carriage/tyre_well general cleaning and inspection.

The most important inspection for safety are the Suspension, Steering and Braking System besides Tyres. Tyre inspection and rotation were done a week earlier.

After cleaning, the inspection began...
