Busted Shocks - Ford Fiesta

[carwhacko]

Hi fellow Tsikoteers, just want to ask for everybody’s opinion regarding my shocks. 2-3 months ago nag upgrade ako ng rims and tires from the stock size of 16s to 17s. It was a 205/40/R17 Nexen N3000 tire. Okay naman siy I had no issues with the ride comfort. However yesterday I changed my rims and tires again thru Concept One. It was the same tire specs however it was changed to Saffiro SF5000. Rims were concept one brand. After nun, naging sobrang bouncy na ng ride lalo sa uneven roads. Parang may tubulence sa loob ng kotse eh at parang matatanggal na ako sa upuan ko. Hindi ko naman sya na experience before when I first replaced my stock tires and rims. Read sa fiesta fb group na sensitive yung stock shocks ng fiesta pag nallift ng matagal baka nagstuck. But i dont think it was lifted for more than an hour naman. Some say give it sometime para mawala ang iba palit na agad ng shocks. I already checked alignment, camber and also checked if lugnuts were securely attached. Napacheck ko na din shocks if there are leaks and also they did test it per corner mukang okay naman it didnt really bounce back ng madaming beses. Pero kapag sakay ka na at umaandar na ako dun ko na nararamdaman talaga na napapagod na ako at nahihilo at the same time. I don’t know if ma-appreciate niyo sa video ko na inupload sa youtube yung pagkabouncy nung ride. Please help on what I should best do.

Na balanced ba yung rims and tire?

If you still have your previous rims and tire,try changing it back

Just a hunch. Pero baka you need to have hubcentric rings installed.

Wait a few days to see if the problem goes away. Experienced this before with my Accord after na lift.

I got mine via amazon. You need to measure the stock fiesta hub diameter and your concept one hub diameter to know which ring to buy.

Cant say. May center cap na nakatakip eh. Hehe.

Anyway, hunch ko lang naman yon. If it doesnt go away, siguro might as well install one para marule out. Plus, it will lessen the stress on your bolts.

If the rings don't work, it's possible the Saffiros have stiffer sidewalls vs the Nexens. Your current wheel/tire combo might also be significantly heavier than the last set. That would effectively make the suspension underdamped.

As per concept one philippines, saffiro tires are softer daw and baka nasanay daw ako sa stiffer na goma. I dont which part yung malambot na sinasabi niya.

hub centric rings

May mga shop na nagbebenta dito. Havent tried it personally though kasi sa amazon galing yung akin.

Just an fyi din sayo. Based dito 63.4 ang hub size ng fiesta. Dont know how true is that pero might as well sukatin mo na lang through ruler or ask someone who knows the tech specs of fiesta.

Sobrang tagtag based sa vids.

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.
