Pa-check mo na shock shocks mo.

If okay daw shocks, which I doubt, try mo palitan ng goma. Neverhead yung Saffiro eh.

Its actually US brand made in China. I wanna try it as well just to rule out. I don’t know if tire shops would lend me a different brand to test kung yung Saffiro talaga problema.

Thats what most Ford Fiesta owners advised me. Baka nagstuck up ang shocks after lifting which is yun daw ang karamihan nangyare sa Fiesta nila. Its been 3 days and I still have the same issue.

Most likely na over extend yung shocks pag lift. Kung luma na din yung shocks isipin mo na lang napabilis lang ng konti yung pagreplace.

Di na yan doc, most likely yung valves damaged na kaya yung shaft free to move without much resistance.

Can they visually inspect the shocks to see if may nasira nga sa loob? I mean before I decide to replace it.

No. But they can take the strut apart and compress the shock to see if there's still resistance. Kung malambot na masyado, yun na yun.

Alright I will inform the auto shop then. How about recommended shocks? I asked if bilstein Philippines has for fiesta kaso meron lang sila is coilover kit for 43k.

Bilstein most of the time firm ang setup, for performance kasi. Baka di mo magustuhan. Best ask around sa ibang naka Fiesta for feedback sa shocks na nasubukan na nila.

Bilstein is too pricey for a daily ride. Get KYB as it gets the job done for a lot less.
