    Just want to ask advice regarding repairs needed for my car (nissan sentra b14 series). I recently went to rapide for free check up for my car's suspension, etc. I was given a written report that I needed to replace the following: stabilizer link, steering boot, rack end and tie rod end. It's a bit costly so I got a second opinion regarding this and brought my car to cruven who offered to restore the following (ball joint, rack end, tie rod end and stabilizer link) using injection technology. It's a big savings for my part but I'm not familiar if it's worth the restoration or should I just replace it. Ok ba yung injection? Di kasi ako familiar dun eh.

    sir first of all, dont go to rapide for maintenance... might as well go to the casa kasi same price lang. and the worst of all is walang mga alam yung mga mekaniko nila. when i went there to try if they really dont know crap about cars, pinacheck ko yung shocks ko then nakita yung coilovers ko... ang sabi hindi nila kaya yung mga ganon! so confirmed na wala talaga alam yung mga loko and kahit sa goon squad youll see the response of tsikotsers sa rapide.

    regurading your prob, ill suggest for repalcement na lang kasi ive heard lots of bad reviews sa refill nila. though it maybe cheap pero as they say "you get what you pay for". parang temporary lang yung gagawing refill. the OEM or repalcements will go a long way rather than refills.

    goodluck sir!

    Sir here's the link for cruven or zee...
    http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24010

    i have only tried Zee's shock refilling service so far so good. 1 year warranty, since tight ang budget, refill muna.

    according to the thread... both shop's do good work if you're on a tight budget .

    as for rapide here's their links...

    mahal sa rapide.. ang mahirap p dun d mo p sure kung original papalit syo. sir punta k n lng sa banawe.. mkakatipid k pa. maganda sana kung replace mo n lng. kung duda pa din sir ung mga parts ibili mo sa casa then pagawa mo sa iba kahit home service kaya yan

    tama yung isa replacement basta class a dapat. steering boot. goma lng yun.

replace vs restore (injection)
