    Hi Members,

    I need your advise.

    I'm experiencing a bumpy ride for the past few weeks after I brought my car for a change oil and a complete wash (body, engine & under) at a popular gasoline station here in paranaque. I came a week later for a minor-tune up and wheel-alignment and I told them about it. They've inspected the suspension right away and they didn't find any problem with it. Before they proceed with the wheel-alignment the technician told me that they will have to rotate my tires because the rear tire is in better condition than the front tires. I'm fine with it, thinking it might solved the issue but it didn't. Just this morning I experience it again and this time it's far more worse. Even in Skyway at 80+ km/h and at C5 too.

    Please advise if you have experienced the same thing and how did you solve it. Thanks

    Car Info:
    2006 Vios 1.3E 2nd hand w/ a mileage of 100K+.
    All stock except for a Bosch Super 4 Spark Plugs w/c I've been using for years(changed annually).

    Long shot but check the springs if they're still seated correctly.

    Have a suspension specialist like Servitek take a look at it.

    Get a 2nd opinion, baka shocks nga since 100k+ na ang mileage. Usually shocks already give up * ~70-80k kms

    You should re-check the tire pressure. Sometimes the service center tire gauge are out of adjustment. Do you have your
    own tire pressure gauge to do the tire pressure check.?
