    Somehow it makes sense as the car within warranty won't have as many failing parts compared to a decade old car. Then again, they are there to make money with as little risk as possible.

    With the post above in using the lifter, I think it is possible to request they use the other type.
    Dealerships welcome warranty claims coz they still get paid.[emoji4]

    Shock issue that you have experienced after servicing from Casa might be due to the lifting of your vehicle via lifter.
    May nabasa ako dito na ganun din na observe ng mga tsikoteer dito after ma lift yung sasakyan lalo na if medyo old na yung car.
    Experienced it also at medyo nag stiff yung shocks pag dumaan sa kunting lubak-lubak.
    Tumino yung shocks ko naman after nag road trip kami loaded with people yung sasakyan at napadaan kami sa rough road.
    I am not sure if this fixes the issue.
    Can't recommend this though since sedan yung sasakyan nyo.

    Ipa 2nd opinion nyo na lang maam sa ibang shop.
    Baka stabilizer link lang yung replacean nyan which just cost you around 400-500 for parts + 300 labor.

    I'm not very familiar on mechanical repairs, but here's my humble opinion as a car owner if you will.

    The car is 10 years old, and I think the components failing one after another is simply natural wear and tear. Even if you have been diligent in maintenance, the best it can do is a hedge against the natural "decay" - but eventually it (i.e. the car's overall health) will still go down south.

    Natural lang talaga. Like someone already mentioned, palitan mo one component, bibigay naman yung next weakest. It might go on and on, baka eventually yung buong sasakyan bago na lahat ng parts, or "frankenstein" na.

    Despite the casa being your best bet, in a matter of speaking, para talaga silang mga doctor - puwede ka nilang bigyan ng gamot, pero maaring hindi ka gumaling. It will not be possible to determine yung pinaka problem outright - gaya ng doctor, baka kailangan i-trace through a series of tests and procedures (na typically masakit sa bulsa). In the end, wala pa ring guarantee na gagaling.

    Minsan siguro hindi rin sila maalam - hindi na nato-troubleshoot ng maayos kasi naka flow chart yung steps - inspect, clean, replace. Hindi rin naman kasi lahat ng SA ay engineer or may background sa mechanics, plus hindi nila kaya masyado magtagal sa isang customer kasi mahaba ang pila.

    Perhaps its time to let it go - bago lumaki ng grabe yung repair bills mo, sayang baka puwede na pang DP ng new car.

    Peace of mind ka pa dahil bago - warranties, improved techologies, better safety features, cleaner engines and everything - unlike continuing to operate an older car na "sakitin" na, hindi mo na maasahan. Baka kung saan ka pa tumirik, put yourself and your loved ones at risk, tapos makakaabala ka ng other motorists dahil nakaka traffic jam ka. God-forbid, baka maka-aksidente ka pa ng ibang tao dahil may bumigay at the worst possible moment.

    Sorry, long post. Might offend a few people ("help on repair" thread ito after all) but in the end, gamit lang ang car. Timbangin mo yung hassle at gastos ng upkeep vs. yung purpose kung bakit ka nag car in the first place. Be sensitive kung medyo sakit na siya ng ulo.

    the bottomline is,
    wear and tear is one thing.
    and some car owners simply wear them and tear them more than others.
    but some cars are simply designed and/or built better than others.
    my opinion.
