Hi guys. Eto yung service invoice ko from Diamond. Re: Uneven height problem. For your reference guys! Just got my unit kanina. Di na sya tabingi

[Drave]

I think there's a problem in the quality control in Thailand for the export units if Dadz says that the local units there have almost no problems.

So far, the only part that was replaced in my unit was the steering column which was replaced about 15k kms ago and is still functioning well. I'm wondering why the new batches still have this problem since they already know what's wrong.

My leaf spring squeaks have eventually disappeared.

Regarding the harsher ride, my theory is that the shock absorbers, particularly the front, are not sturdy. When my unit was new, I didn't feel this at all. But after several months, the front suspension has become bumpy. Generally, there's always performance fade of the stock shocks after 10k kms. One solution that I see is to replace the shocks with aftermarket ones.

Thicker tires will always provide better grip and looks but there are also downsides. One is heavier unsprung weight resulting to more rebound to the suspension, thus, making the ride harsher. To counter this, one has to buy lightweight mags.

havent tried measuring my stradas left and right height level pa, i hope di uneven yung truck namin.

btw ano po ba yung normal na uneven measurement sa strada? accurate ba talaga na level na level? or ok lng yung tig 1-2 inches?

sa left and right lang ba or sa front and back din may ganito na problem? will try to check tomorrow kasi,.

Fellow BOSB's Here is how to check if the color coding of your front Coil spring is correct... It must be White Orange.. IF not all dealer will replace this..This is also written to Sir apollo_kapka receipt... Hope this information will help....

It does seem na yung problem with non-level height (incorrect springs) are very common. From my personal opinion, after all this replacements, MMPH should be already aware of this and ensure that all trucks leaving the factories should be inspected again.

I am not too happy that MMPH is only waiting until owners complain about it. .

hey peeps,

nagawa ninyo na ba assignment ninyo? If only one person complains or forward their feedback, it will not go too far...it's best if many would let them (MMPC) know the problem of the Strada. Regardless if your unit is working or not..it is best that they are informed of what is going around with their quality issue.

Thanks apollo_kafka for the proof of your claim.

Thanks to Dadz for giving us a lot of insights between their Triton vs. our Strada.

Thanks alainroyce for additional info on parts...tagal ka na hindi nagpakita sa amin ha.

siomai: bro..if your casa can't give you the part right away..take it to another dealer that can.
