Need help about shocks

**Troy Inovero** · June 1st, 2015 11:58 PM

Paano po ba malalaman kung talagang kailangan ng palitan yung shocks?
Hindi kasi ako sure kung palitin na talaga yung shocks ko. Hindi na kasi sya nag cocompress kapag uneven yung roads tapos parang "iniiwan" nung gulong yung kalsada na parang bato sa tigas yung pakiramdam. Naka maxspeed lowering springs kasi ako dati kaya feeling ko yun yung reason kung bakit nagkaganito yung shocks ko ngayon. Dapat pala ata magpapalit din ng shocks kapag nag lowering springs.

First of; you can actually test it manually by taking off your shocks out of the car. 'You'll be needing spring compressor to do this'. Then try to squeeze the shaft against the body; by doing that, you can able to assess if there is less or enough resistance in movement of the shaft along with the force you applied. If there is less resistance or 'no' resistance at all, your shock is 'shot'.. You've got to change it..

Thanks for the quick reply sir. I see yun pala yung way para macheck kung talagang kailangan ng palitan yung shock. Hindi yung hula hula lang.
Meron kayang ganun sa mga shell gas stations? Particularly sa mindanao avenue.

Check the shocks for any leaks, kung napansin mo basa yung paligid, palitin na yan.

Well, if he'll go all through that might as well replaced it than just have it check. [emoji17]

If your shocks is gas type wala ka talaga makikita na oil leak.

hindi mo malalamang sira na yan hanggat hindi mo binabaklas ang shock dun sa spring...

saka mo hawakan ung dulo saka mo biglang diinan or itulak pababa.kapag biglang mo naitulak ng pababa ng hindi ka nahirapan.at hindi na bumalik ng kusa..

sira na yan 100%

One way to check it without removing the shocks is called 'suspension performance test' it is a computerised testing wherein all you have to do is put the 2 front wheel of ur car into a square metal flatform (approx 12" x 12") and it would act as a real world simulator by applying a dumping motion in ur front wheels for several seconds.. 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..
