Question with my ride

[mdpo]

Guys,

Di parin mamatay ang problem ko with regards my ride... meron paring tug-tog pag nansa lubak/uneven surfaces. Replace the rack-end and tie rod pero nandun parin.

Pina-check ko sa tireboy they hunch na baka yung lower suspension bushing daw. kasi as they saw it and i saw it too medyo malaki na yung GAP. Here's the tricky part... yung suspension bushing 4k+ isa... yung bushing sa taas( dalawa daw kasi bushing ng MPV) 1k isa... kaso kung sira narin patin Ball joint ko... palit na buo which is the lower arm bushing... which is 12k+ so the big question is... antayin ko nalang ba na masira tsaka ko na palitan lahat? Or palitan ko na muna bushing (lower suspension bushing) ngayon then after how many years or kms palitan ko naman yung suspension arm with the ball joint..

Opinion niyo naman... mahal sobra ng piyesa! kasi takot ko pag nasira yung lower arm suspension bushing damay nanaman lahat... sayang naman yung ginastos ko..

thanks

mdpo,

Try replacing the bushings first. It may do the trick. Try also to canvass for your bushings sa Banawe at baka makamura ka. Try sa Sprint. Goodluck. :wink:

hayy hirap talaga ng may sasakyan! para kang may anak na nasa college!

Contrary to popular Philippine auto repair protocol, lower balljoints rarely fail (they are not a load bearing component). Nasanay lang kasi tayo sa philosophy ng mga talyer na 'palitan na lang lahat' a.k.a. the 'tinatamad kaming mag-diagnose' philosophy.

Hindi ba supposed to last the lifetime of the vehicle ang suspension arm? Hindi wear out component iyan.

Palitan mo muna ang upper and lower control arm bushings. That usually works.

bushing lang yan bro...trust me...i had mine checked sa casa mismo and sabi nila shocks na raw costing 14k 2pcs front.. yun pala lower suspension bushing lang. tsk tsk tsk...buti nalang nag tanong tanong muna ako. replace mo muna bushing...

change the bushings bro. experience ko naman pag suspension bushing mas ok yung original. mas matibay so tumatagal and hindi nasisira yung goma. di pa ako nakakatiempo ng replacement japan na up to my standards. mahal din kasi yung labor and yun nga yung kain ng goma mag su-suffer pag lumuwag agad yun.
