The computer will sense if the tension in your suspension is bilaterally equal or there is an imbalance of more than 50%.. This technolgy is used to check cars suspension much more accurately rather than going into traditional mechanical diagnosis by removing all those suspension.. ., there should be someone somewhere around there in manila area doing that.. No quite sure though but it would lessen the hassle of prying all those seized bolts out..

If there's no one else's there you got no choice brother..

Sir saang shop po may ganun? Mas accurate siguro yun ska less hassle.

Most likely walang ganyan sa pinas lol. Sa US/EU highend suspension tuning shops meron.

Kahit sa Wheeler Dealers garage ni Ed China walang ganyan. They still check the shocks the old fashioned way by just bouncing the corners. Works naman eh.

Wow you're basing it on a tv show.. Are you based in UK?? Anyways it used on every single car being tested yearly to assess road worthiness of all cars on the road not single out suspensions alone.. FYI the test is called NCT.. Google it for more info..

Best way to test it is by "actual feel" during driving. When shock absorbers go bad, the shaft gets stuck at the bottom and isn't strong enough to retract and push the car back up. Ibig sabihin, kapag nalubak ka, wala ng mag-aabsorb ng impact pababa so yung coil spring at suspension parts ang sasalo ng force. Definitely, mararamdaman mo to sa loob ng cabin.

IMO replaced it every 80k kms.. Or earlier, Or any signs of wear sa tires.. Or pag hindi na stable sa high speeds ang car mo, even if their is no signs of wear on your shocks or tires...
