Front Shock absorber

**River Phoenix** · November 30th, 2010 03:13 PM

Mga sir, is it a common occurrence that the front shock absorbers will last only for 2 years? My civic 1.8v a/t is exactly 2 years. i was surprised to be told during a check up that my front suspension needs to be replaced...

Thanks for the help in advance.

pwede,pwede ding hindi..depende sa gumagamit ng auto..kung laging puno ng pasahero o loaded ng gamit...o walang pakundangan dumaan sa lubak.

eh he he he thanks for the quick reply. my route is c5 in the morning and edsa in the evening, and commonwealth ave. There are bad parts on the road wherein I cant just slow down so i just speed up even if there are major bumps...sigh...

But I am more often driving alone.

thanks.

pwede mo naman patagalin pa magpalit kung wala pa budget...easy ka lang sa lubak.minsan kasi sabihin sa iyo palitan na kahit hindi pa....

ask for 2nd opinion muna...

Napansin ko din kasi na mas mataas na yung clearance nung wheel sa front kesa sa rear. thats what the guy from that shop noticed as well. ibig ba sabihin eh talagang yun na nga ang problema?

My ride is '06 model, casa told me na palit na nga daw ako ng shocks and im so surprised kasi 4 years pa lang oto ko.. sa TS mas matindi pala sayo, 2 years pa lang?.. Hindi na pala ako dapat magulat, pero they told me kung may budget palitan na, pero ok pa naman daw nothing to be worried regarding safety..

Ingat lang sa malalaking lubak at kung maari dahan dahan lang pagdumaan ka rito malakas din makasira ng shock at pang ilalim na suspension. Pag mahina na talaga shock iyong spring nito na lang ang parang naglalaro pag nalulubak ka.

Kung nabasa mo Post ni broTS sa itaas, kaya 2 years lang inabot...

average nyan bro ay 3 years talaga....up to the owner kung gusto nya na papalitan o hindi....kung patagalin, yung tension sa coil spring naman apektado..yung iba, sabay na pinapapalitan....depende sa budget...

oo nga, wala naman issue sa safety yun bro, ang delikado ay ball joints at tierod ends....
