From a punctured tire to buying a set of tires, then napunta sa suspension.
Pag yan napunta sa buying a new car bec. of pasak/patch “problem”.
Ayawan na!!!!![]()
pag lagi may multo ang isip kahit bumili ng bagong kotse di parin magkakaroon ng peace of mind
kasi sooner or later meron at meron gagawin dun sa kotse
once na may ginalaw sa kotse... kahit change oil lang...overthink na yan... tama ba ung langis? na-undertighten/overtighten ba ang oil filter?
wala na... the car's ruined
we should learn to "don't worry, be happy", lest we get caught in the quagmire.
this post-er, apparently, got quagmired.
let's see how he gets out of it.
he started with his tale that his tyre was mal-fixed.
now, he's into the suspension-can-be-destroyed-by-bad-lifting thing.
what's next?
simple cars have their blessings.

The old car Honda CRV 2004 has patches done to the 2015 Michelin tyres. So far ok naman so believe ako sa patches. Kala ko lang yun string plug nagamit sa kamuning sa Subaru ko is new tech (first time for me to see a string patch). The technician told me outdated na daw yun tangal pa tyre and open up rim to do patch. Mas modern daw just insert plug.
Anyway, I think Honda CRV Thailand edition pinaka worse na cars sa lahat 'no? Halos lahat na major parts na palit na many times. The radiator failed (nabutas) while I was driving, nasira brake fluid pump while driving, napalit lahat na suspensions 2 times, even the power steering rack and pinion na palit na, dati I kept adding steering fluid kasi nabawasan half of reservoir in one day.
Now the problem is the engine oil leak and coolant leak. I have to add engine oil and coolant every week kasi it leaks to my parking. Pero ang rami palitan almost 40k na repair if ma ayus ko oil leak. And mahirap mahanap coolant leak. The car is worth 120k now in used market kasi it used up gasoline so fast.
It's for coding use. Honda has replacement parts. Pero not Subaru. Sobra mahal parts ng subaru so ayaw ko mangyari yun nangyari sa Honda.
If I didn't stop them from using car lift on the suspension arms early this week, possible na bent na now suspension arms ko. This is why even though ayaw ko na mag post para matahimik na ako.. pero I learnt a little tips can save thousands of pesos of unnecessary damage and repair. Hence make sure ko hindi nila put car lift sa suspension arms.
After na change na all the 4 tires ng Subaru ko. Mag move on na ako. I hope LTO would soon require all tires more than 5 years old to change to new para ma force ako change all tires ng Honda ko which is now 7 years ago. Wala na talaga budget for now to change them. Maybe after mawala na Omicron and back to normal business na. Affected kami since early 2020 at dawn of pandemic
i have a 2005 innova with over 140K km on it.
i have replaced the four shocks and two support struts of the rear hatch.
and oh yes! the front break disk. someone didn't recognize the warning signs of worn disk pad...
