    Guys newbie question po. Medyo matagtag yung driver side ng Honda Civic 97 ko front and back. I want to know the difference of Shocks, Suspensions and yung mga arms. How are they related to each other and ano yung need ko palitan to have a smooth ride? TIA.

    start with the right tire pressure, if the ride is still harsh, try to switch to 50/50 shock absorber (50 jounce/50 rebound). check your tire profile too, if the profile is lower than standard equipment, lower the tire pressure and refrain from using the pressure spec for original size tire
