    is it posible to refill those?

    kasi my new-2nd hand liteace is kinda bouncy..i think a i could find suitable replacement will take me some time, so if posible could i just refill my shocks as a quick solution habang naghahanap ng replacement parts..

    i could easily do this, but the problem is, but my liteace is TEMS equipped...in short,it has an electronic suspension system and the shocks have wires over it...

    mga local 2nd gen. pajero owners, diba adjustable suspension nyu? nagpaparefill ba kayo?ayw ko mawala ung function na un,e...

    pls help..thanx..

    That would depend on what is being controlled in the shock. If a valve is just opened or closed as a means for adjusting the shock, then a refill is possible.

    Meron yatang ibang shocks na yung viscosity ng mismong fluid ang iniiba.

    mine kasi has wires on the top end ng shocks..automatic ang adjusting ng damping..

    normally nasa "soft" position ung indicator, but kung sudden nag-steering, hard braking, lumilipat sa "hard" ung indicator.. no switch po ito katulad ng nasa pajero..

    i hope ma-rerefill un...

    Be it automatic or manual, you have to actually find out how it changes damping rate.

    Most probably, it is refillable. Most electric shocks vary damping via valve control.

    why refill it? is it busted? does it leak oil? does it not do its job properly? If its not broken I would not mess with it, adding oil to it might do some damage to it, TEMS system of toyota is a complex system, it adjusts ride height, stiffness depending on the road condition, speed and other factors.

    yes, i know it...kaya ako nagtatanong in advance.wala din akong alam na local toyotal model na may TEMS, so therefore wala din technology ang casa natin...meron man, sigurado tatagain ako sa presyo..

    di pa naman sira,e..no leaks/ what so ever...it still gets the job done..medyo bouncy lang sa may likod, kaya im worrying...siguro un ang pagkakaiba ng leaf sa coil springs....pero im still observing it...

    thanx sa inyong lahat,h?
