Nissan Frontier Navara [continued]

[Wh1stl3r]

Turns out the shocks weren't topping out, the nuts just weren't tightened enough. I need help, can't find that rubber washer on top of the primary filter. Anyone know where I can buy some?

[12vdc]

What nut? The 3 nuts holding the strut on the upper arm or the top hat nut? Nut has built in plastic threadlock or you could use loctite red as substitute.

I used polyurethane rubber for that seal.. Some gasket shops do customize them. Or if you have spare rubber or silicone, just cut out to make the washer then drill the center. Its about the size of 1cent maybe smaller.

This nut holding the shock to the mounting plate. Not really visible from here but it holds the top shock bolt in place.


I think the front is overdone, maybe I can drop it by an inch. Sometimes it looks higher than the rear. A little too much preload on the front spacer anyway.

What do you think? BTW the Koni Heavy Track shocks are great. Even with the added preload up front the ride is still good. With stock height it should be awesome. Can't use it for lifts higher than 1.5" though.

Erh, I'm in the province so no gasket shops here. Will rubber from a tire tube do?

Bought this * nisman Taiwan made same as oem ng Nissan


P350 vs P1600 mahal ata tong oem

^ yan yung pinalit nila sa AGL w/c is same quality and cheaper by a hundred.

Your rubber seats are out prolly damaged by loose nut.. Its the top hat nut of the strut, its separated by two spacers sandwiched bet shock mounting plate and 2rubber bushings.. Kung loose nga tutunog sya.. Heres some of my suspension parts in my stash.


I think you need to lift the rear and slap in some meatier tyres. [emoji106]

Where do you get your suspension parts? Ang hirap maghanap nung rubber seat na yun, had to wait 3 months sa casa. Nisway, Yen and Youngbros didn't have them.

Kaasar, kakapalit ko lang nung rubber seat na yun, wasn't cheap, I recall. Parang almost 1K/pair.

I'm thinking of shaving the spacer in the front to lower it. Makapal pa kasi tires ko, around 60% left. Trade in is 2K lang daw. If I go higher at the rear I'll need longer shocks. Also, ayaw ko na rin lumakas yung roll sa corners. Ang ayaw ko lang magmukhang Hilux yung itsura, na subsob na masyado yung harap.

Guess I'll have to get another set of spacers to be safe. Baka alam mo yung exact leverage ratio ng spacer thickness to ride height? Para di na ko mageexperiment hehe.

Kay 1alliance/ nissan un, 1week lang sa planta kung wala sila stock.

Hindi ko pa nakabit yung strut spacers, palagay ko kasi mag te-take off yung front kung 2inches lang yung rear.. Im learning towards ur leafpack mod, experiment mod lang din.. Or wishful thinking.. adjustsble airbag sa rear, madalas kasi kargahan yung bed ngayon ng mabigat.

[jay185]

guy sali nyo ko sa pangarap nyo pag nag dagdag kayo ng leaf.

by the way, since sobra ang bwiset ko sa incompetent na nissan north edsa since last year, hindi na ako nakabalik sa kanila para ipaayos ulet yung navara ko, kada balik ko me nasisira sila mga bwiset sila. wag na wag kayong mag papagawa ng body repair sa kanila kahet anong mangyare. incompetent yung pintor don, trabahong tamad. basta. bwiset.

anyways... isa pa is etong problema ko, nag pa 80k pms ako sa kanila last year, isa sa mga problema is squeaking break. mejo nabawasan naman yung pag squeak nya nung binalik ko pero meron pa ren. saka pansin ko since nag 80k pms din ako sakanila, humina yung break ko, parang ang dulas. parating kelangan malayo pa lang break na ako di tulad dati.

ano ba dapat kong gawin dito? too late na ba? mga bandang november yung 80k pms ko. nag 85k na ako (ako na lang tumira).

dapat bang dalin ko na to sa break shop? if yes, san meron malapit sa taguig area?

Ano thickness ng spacer mo? Eto yung nakuha kong measurements from PRG. Para sa US Frontier nga lang. Should provide a rough guide anyway.

Lift Spacer thickness
1/2" 0.25"
1" 0.5"
1.3" 0.85"
1.5" 1"
2" 1.25"
2.5" 1.5"

If going with AAL sa rear better sya with longer shocks para di nagtotop out at full droop. Kung aggressive sa bumps maybe install taller bumpstops para di mag bottom out. Yung Bilstein 5125's the best for the price para sa rear, mura if sourced from 'mericuh. The AAL/Bilstein 5125 combo works. Much nicer ride quality laden or not. Di na kelangan ng airbags, pangako yan. Yung akin standard length Bilstein HDs pero maganda na rin, IMO no need to replace with 5125s.

Yung front naman the thicker the spacer the greater the preload on the coils kaya mas matigas both compression and rebound the taller you go. Personally yung >1" spacer matigas na masyado. Pag taller than 1" spacer kelangan pa ng longer shocks and UCA bump stops.

Sorry to hear bout your experience at NE. Maybe you could try Mantrade? It's in Pasong Tamo. Baka naman cleaning lang kelangan ng brakes or palitin na yung pads?

Tapos na yung added leaves ko sa likod, I posted it some pages back. Yung front na lang ang di pa ako decided kung bababaan ko pa or stay as is. Ang goal ko naman sa lift isn't really to get higher but to improve the ride. Tingin ko a 1" lift (spacer preload/AAL) will give the perfect compromise between ride quality and handling sa corners.

[jay185]

Gusto ko ren ng added leaf magkano damage sayo?

[jay185]

Yung sa break, kakapalit lang non siguro mga 1.5 yrs ago. Saka makapal pa sya based don sa tab na visible from outside. Pag nag brebreak tuloy ako ngayon malayo pa lang kelangan tapat ka na kasi parang madulas sya. I bleed ko kaya? Anong size ng clear hose tube ba ang kelangan ko dito?

[12vdc]

^ Brake pre.. Baka masira yan kung lagi break. Hihi.. [emoji111]️

Yung clear tube na ginagmit sa aerator ng aquarium or yung sumunod dun.. Kung hindi kasya, palambutin mo sa apoy ng lighter bago ipasok sa bleeder.. Gamitan mo ng flare nut wrench para hindi masira yung head ng nut, then may katulong ka dapat sa pag bleed taga sigaw ng "bomba"... "Pirme"... Hehe.. Palagay ko yung rotor mo malalim na kelangan refacing at linisin mabuti, isama mo na yung rear drums sa inspection..

This is accurate. Got 1.25" spacers, lift is 2".



Your tips are noted bro, will get my hands on maybe next month. Medyo matagal gawin lift lalo na kung solo lang sa garahe, bka pagawa ko nalang if time permits.

[rzeraus]

anong bang recommended na shock sa harap at likod?

Bilstein 24-187152 5100 Series or Rancho RS999311 RS9000XL or ARB 60017 Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Sport Shock para sa likod? sa harap naman balak ko yong Rancho RS999787 RS9000XL Series or ARB 90003 Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Sport Strut....

hindi naka lift to, as always maraming salamat..

hahaha tama tama. brake :D so sa casa ko pa ren ba to ipagagawa? o kahet sa labas na? me recommended kang shop?

Madali lang diy yung brake cleaning, fluid renewal, bleeding, and rear drum parking cable adjustment. Yung refacing meron sa suking machine shop na may torno(lathe), pero kung sa labas mo pagagawa lahat nun brake job sa kanila mo narin pagawa. Any brake shop kaya gawin yan, sa casa per hour ang bayad kaya mahal labor. After magpalit ng new brake pads, may bedding procedure kasi para maganda kain ng friction material sa rotor, pero adviseable talaga pakinisin sa torno yung rotor bago ilapat ang new pads.

Copy. Anong grease ang nilalagay nyo sa Slider pin na nag hohold ng caliper

[12vdc]

Silicone grease or polybutyl grease w/c is hard to find. Never use petroleum based, lolobo yung goma ng pin hindi na papasok.

sir 12vdc kong wala ok lang yong silicone spray?
