The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[ferdine]

Great new carnival!! It just puzzles me that they exposed the sliding door runners unlike the ones in the older carnival, which is concealed under the rear window. I liked this feature so much in my carnival since it's the only van with such feature. Unlike the starex's, ventures, etc. which had this deep gash on their sides for the sliding doors.

I noticed the windows were smaller but adjustments could have been made. I guess it would have looked better if Kia maintained the hidden canal.

This is what also happens to the new Mazda MPV which I saw on sale in Hongkong last April. Visible rin ang sliding rail. I don't know why it had to be designed like this. Sana nga in the future they can modify it to look like the older sedona.
Pero kung sabagay kanya kanyang taste yan as long as it serves its purpose.

I'm guessing they weren't able to do that because on the SWB version the window just isn't long enough to hide the track guides.

Hi Bro,

San ko ba makita yung GoodGear in Pasay City, pareho din problema ko e, due for replacement na yung axle boot ko. Otherwise, please post their contact numbers. Thanks in advance.

Goodgear is along Taft Ave., Pasay City (tel no. 833-8392/5110376), lapit lang sa Pasay Rotonda, tanong tanong mo na lang sa mga tao doon alam na yun. I have just replaced my left & right outer axle boots last 14 July, casa charges 1,600 each and 896 pesos for labor per side, no deal! went to goodgear and got OEM parts at 800 pesos tapos pinakabit ko na lang sa suking shell service center, labor ko eh 250 lang per piece, excluding tip doon sa mechanic. Goodgear also sells replacement axle boots at 130 per piece, kaso sabi ng mechanic walang warranty sa tibay noon.

Might as well post Fronte's tel no. again here: 712-0864/7120919

Hi Jabr,

Thanks for your response, as an I update, I brought my Kia Car last Saturday at Yokohama (previously Servitek) Binan unfortunately, they don't have stock of the axle boot. However, the mechanic told me that they will also need to do camber alignment, is that true? As I read your email, I was under the impression that no camber alignment was done to your ride, am I right? Again, thanks in advance.

I'm not jabr, but I also had my axle boot replaced recently.

The mechanic explained that if the alignment of the wheels was off after changing the parts, they would have to do wheel alignment, otherwise, no need. Fortunately, the alignment of the wheels was still okay after they replaced the boots so they didn't perform the alignment anymore.

Our mechanic did not recommend wheel alignment/camber correction for my kia because he sees that the camber is still ok. you're from sta rosa? taga pacita naman ako.
