Hindi! Di puwedeng masira ang wheel bearing sa ganitong up and down motion, etc. dahil ang function ng bearing e para smooth ang pag-gulong ng wheels. Masisira ang ibang suspension parts, katulad ng struts, etc. sa mga bumps at iba pang lubak-lubak sa kalye pero di ang bearing.

Malakas ang palagay ko na kapag ito ang ang sira e manufacturing defect ito at dapat panagutan ng Kia ito. Good luck!!

Gumagaralgal sa may clutch area at akala ko may makakalas na piyesa sa underside. Ganoong katindi ang ingay at rattle. Sa observation ko, nangyayari kapag nagacceleratre, nag engine brake at kapag nakatapak sa clutch (although di ganoon katindi kapag nakatapak sa clutch). Pinatay ko yung makina at pinahinga sandali. nang paandarin ko uli at pinatakbo, halos mawala lahat ng ingay at vibration. Dinala ko sa Kia Quirino at ang suspetsa ay may problema na yung "Dual Mass" sa drive train pagkatapos ng clutchhousing. Ito pala ay parang torque converter sa mga automatics at trabaho nito na iabsorb ang vibration at ingay na dulot ng puwersa ng pagikot ng makina. Malakas na raw ang revs ng mga diesel engines ngayon dahil sa turbo at crdi kaya para siyang shock absorber ng torque ng makina.
Inorder nila from Korea yung part at darating in 2-3 weeks. I can still drive the car dahil hindi naman raw ito sira na may makakalas, magdidisintegrate o magiistuck-up. Mahinay lang ang takbo at iwasan ang jackrabbit starts. So far, hindi ko pa uli naranasan yung problem. Dalawang Carens sa NCR ang may ganitong problema (one is mine) at isang Sorento sa province. Cost of repair is 60-70k for carens at mga 84k dun sa Sorento. The good news is dahil regular ang PMS ko, under warranty yan at LIBRE ang repairs! (Thank You God!) Yung Sorento, sa Petron nagpapaservice kaya nawala yung Warranty niya. Nagtipid pero lalong lumaki ang gastos. So ingat lang sa pagarankada para di nyo maranasan yung problemang ito. All in all, very satisfied pa rin ako sa Carens ko.

ser Supermarine, update mo na lang kami how it turned out...suerte mo u can have it replaced under warranty. ang Carens ko just finished its warranty period of 3 years last July...kung sakaling masira etong "Dual Mass Flywheel" mahal na gastusin nga.... kasi minsan during accelerating fm. a dead-stop i can feel some strange vibration depende sa bilis ng clutch release and road incline (flat means less stress and no vibration)... kung may Part Number ka pa-share na din....with piktyurs would be great.

hi Guys n Gals, see my DIY tweeter and Powered Sub install.

[Remove center Console 1]

[Battery Connection]

cost me about Php7K for the tweeter and Sub....plus another Php1K for the tools i bought to help me remove parts (Stanley ratchet alone wass Php450.. for removing the seat bolts) the worse one though was it occupied about 3days of my time as i wasn't familiar how to remove the interior plastic trim and getting the Red cable to the engine bay and to the battery was a real challenge. haha.
over-all i'm quite satisfied with the outcome.

Pero in terms of exact measurement, kelangan ma try muna kasi di naman ganun kalaki yung difference so i think baka swak pa rin.

Bago lang ako dito pero I think i can help to unravel the tire sizes:
255 means the width of the tire is 255 mm divided by 25.4 or roughly 10 inches
65 is the aspect ratio in percent.
multiply the width of the tire and the aspect ratio then you have the "thickness of the tire"multiply by 2 and add the rim size.
So to sum it up 255/65 R16 is equivalent to 10" x 29" x R16, 29" being the height of the tire.

Hope this helps.

to ser Supermarine, nakita ko pala sa Youtube... ang daming Video's about mga nasisirang Dual Mass Flywheel. puede (kung maari lang) pa video naman po nung Old and New Part comparison. paki -ikot ikot if possible. saka kailangan daw bang palitan ang clutch sabay with DMF?
