Ok ba Replacement?

[Puchok]

Mga Guru,

Tanong ko lang po, palitin na po shock ko sa harap & upper arm...nag canvas yung firend ko na mechanic sa honda eto po prices

OEM Shock front = 4K/pc
KYB Shock front = 2k/pc

OEM Upper Arm = 2.7K
Replacement Upper Arm = 2K

Ok lang ba prices nya? & ofcourse mas maganda orig no doubt. Pro tolerable namn ba performance & lifespan kung Replacement gagamitin ko?

My ride is Civic VTec 2000

TIA

God Bless!

i recently replaced my ek's front upper arm.

orig upper arm = 2.7k

also asked for shock's prices for future reference.

orig shocks = 4k++
replacement (kyb brand) = 1.7k

[afrasay]

for a difference of 700 get the oem for your upper arm. Now for the shock, isn't it KYB is also the oem shock for honda and other japanese brand? correct me if i'm wrong.

Sir Rusem,

Saan store kayo nakabili ng replacement (kyb brand) = 1.7k? So that I can also inquire.

Sir afrasay,

Thanks a lot for the suggestion & infos.

afaik, kyb is the oem shocks for toyotas. at least for their compact sedans.
for hondas, it's showa ata.

carpower at pasay libertad

Yup, Carpower is a reputable shop. Sila pa magsasabi sa yo kung replacement lang yung part mo for your Honda, kung yun lang kaya ng budget mo.

Some shops kasi, including Multiline, bibigyan ka ng replacement or fake na part, sasabihin sayo original, kahit obvious sa packaging pa lang fake na

[zero]

ingat na lang po sa fake replacement parts.

yep. don't get replacement upper arms. they won't last long. better get OEM since konti lang yung difference. otherwise surplus na lang.

Are you sure w/ that bro? I bet to disagree. Generally sa mga suspension arms ng mga auto, I think it really depends na nalang yan kung swertuhin o malasin ka sa piyesang nakuha o makukuha mo kung maganda o defective, if it worked well on your ride, then great, if it doesn't, then sorry for you, purchase another (kahit OEM). Marami akong kakilala na puro replacement nalang pinapalit and until now, no problems encountered.

Kung surplus lang suggestion mo, possible na hindi ganung tatagal yun, sayang ang pera kung panandalian mo nalang magagamit. Kung safety lang pag-uusapan, I'd go w/ the bnew ones, di ka rin ganung makakasigurado sa condition ng surplus, pero like i've mentioned, chambahan at depende parin.

Replacement lang po suspension arms (upper, lateral, lower) ng galant ko, until now sobrang OK pa pati bushings buo pa, wala pang biyak watsoever....3 years na, still sturdy and working very fine, matibay din... and that's half the price!

Not every tsikoteers can afford expensive OE's. However, not all OE's (mostly suspension parts) perform that very well, merong mga replacement parts that can outlast an OEM, and that is just my experiences on our vehicles. So, if you can afford OE's, then go for it. Kung budgeted ka talaga and want to take risks, then go for a replacement one.

Just some of my cents!

CHEERS!

[Puchok]

Salamat po sa mga replies a big help for me.

I think I'll go for both replacement nlang tight ung budget eh..isa pa di namn severe ung gamit ko ng Car halos 3times a week ko lang ngagamit & maximum of 20kms ride a day lang.

Sir rusem & Galactus may tel no. po ba kayo ng Car Power sa pasay so I can Inquire directly?

Sir rayban7g thanks a lot din sa comment u have a point.

Sino pa po may alam na mura & reputable na store sa banawe na pwede ako mag inquire pahingi naman po sana ng contact no.

Kailan ko lang po mag canvas at a lower price cause tight and budget.

Thanks to all & God Bless!

[non-vtec]

rayban7g,

yup i'm quite sure of it. on our previous accord, we used a replacement upper control arm. after a few months, bumigay na. compare mo lang yung quality ng bushings and metal used sa oem at replacement, makikita mo na ang difference. but if it did well for you then that's good. sa surplus naman, you (or a mechanic) can easily spot if a suspension arm if tatagal pa.

basta with the price difference of 700, i'd go with OEM. kanya kanya lang. PEACE!

edit: surplus

palitan mo na mechanic mo.

[speedyfix]

remember, madami brands ng replacement parts. not all of them are made equal.

That exactly what i'm thinking malamang yung sinasabi nyang upper arm na replacement with a price of 2K is different brand dun sa tinanong ko sa Car power na 1.1k na mas mura. tnx.

I think I should be specfic with the brand to really see the difference.

Thanks!

[speedyfix]

yup, it's easier to differentiate brands and pricing that way.
