the bad bearings?
delikado po.
kahit short drive lang.
kahit short drive to Sunday Church.

hi, can you recommend po any auto shop near kalayaan makati? tie rod replacement. tried google pero along buendia/vito cruz na yung pinakamalapit. kinakabahan kasi ako baka biglang magbreak na siya if ibabyahe ko pa ng medyo malayo. thanks!

Have tire alignment checked first ... if it's a bearing problem, there should be sound even at low speeds ...

Check out Autoline in Makati or Velocity Underchassis in Aurora Boulevard, Mandaluyong.

Like a lot of you here, the casa recommended replacing the bushings on my XV. To be fair, I do think it's due.

Parts list on the quotation are:
2x Bushing arm F F (small)
2x Bushing arm F R (big)
2x Rubber bushing stabilizer
2x Stabilizer link

The estimated labor cost is... let's just say unappealing.

So, should I just buy the parts from MI and have it done outside? If so, any recommendations for where to have it done? I'm from the south, so I'm hoping for somewhere in Paranaque, Las Pinas, or Alabang.

I live in the south area but I took the time to go to Banawe (HMS Auto Saloon) to source for such bushings and had them installed at Velocity Underchassis Mandaluyong. It saved me a lot of money.

Yeah, should've mentioned that I did my backreading homework. Was just hoping that there'd be new shops or such in the south recently.

So I ended up buying the bushings and stabilizer links from MI. Then I had them installed at Bridgestone Alabang. Labor and pressing (outsourced) was around 3700. Pressing was done at a nearby machine shop, but the Bridgestone tech seemed like he really knew what he was doing, at least. I was pretty happy with the service. Took around 2 hours.

Too bad my tie rods seem to be due for replacing soon too.

I have a 2022 Subaru XV. They said that the underchasis of subaru is weak. The place that i went not CASA checked my driveshaft and tire rod and said its needed to be repaired and replace. My concern was only the brakes because CASA said i needed to eventually change me brake pads but the mechanics siad that i needed to have my driveshaft repaired and tie rods replace. It’s this normal for a 2 year old subaru ?

Get a 2nd opinion.

[Dr.Kamiya]

Agreed get a second opinion. I've never heard of Subarus needing driveshaft replacement that early, and I've seen plenty that were regularly driven hard.

To me it looks like that shop is trying to rip you off and you might as well go to the CASA.

i agree.
get a second opinion, especially if you do not feel there is anything wrong with the vehicle as you drive it.
good luck.

Gone are the days wherein people who owned cars knew how vehicles work ... these days, they can't even be bothered to put air in tires by themselves ...
