hi. mga sir nakabili kc ako ng sentra series3 97 ang kalampag ano po ba ang dapat kong icheck? thx
everything to check already had experience that and now its gone
-tie rod
-rack end
-ball joint
-link stabilizer
-shock absorber
its all around 22k and all bnew and not surplus. btw the ride is rav4 Gen2
ano pa ba.. hmm dagdag nyo na lang kung may kulang pa.
yan ang mga pinalitan sa akin at nawala parang bula! hehe
also there is a shop named "Cruven" yun ang speciality nila sa suspension if you want the option to repair and not to replace. my experience is that they quote me a price that is close to replacing it with brandnew parts so I opt to replace nalang than have it repair. its your call.
Reviving thread... Nare repair ba ang tie rod ends and ball joints talaga? I had my suspension arms rebushing-ed and they said that these parts are already loose and they said they can have it repaired so I agreed kasi no choice at hindi available sa elsewhere ang parts at sayang nakabaklas na rin kasi. Charge was 1100 for 2 ball joints and 2 tie rod ends. Ambilis lang ni-repair, dinala daw nila sa machine shop. Anyway, true ba yun o nadale lang ako? Tumigas naman ung parts, kasi sabi nila hindi daw yun kaya i-wiggle ng kamay lang.
Pwede palitan ung mga rubber parts/bushings lang(usually ginagawa ng mga nagtitipid or wala makuhanan na parts), pero yung reliability is depende sa quality ng pinalit na rubbers at gumawa.
Usually hindi tumatagal, pero baka iba experience mo. Wait and see hot it turns out.

yep. pukpok.
and it's a hit-or-miss thing.
in my cousin's loose ball joints case, they missed.
"ang tigas!"
sabi nga nang iba, "pang bayan seller yang serbis na yan."
i have been an orphan car owner. yung wala nang piyezas na car, at any price.
and when my ball joints were coming close to pulling apart, i tried the local ball joint rebuild shops. may pukpok, may injection of industrial-grade plastic, may re-manufacture via ingenious (in theory) machine shopping. some shops were even reluctant to explain what it is they were actually doing to the ball joint.
but they all had one thing in common: "non-satisfactory. they don't last long, or they're too tight, or both."
all this was in the 80s, when online was almost non-existent.
my advice,
"buy original". they may be considerably more expensive or may require more effort to find, but they will not give you headaches afterward."
555 is also good. i have good experience with it.
and yes, make sure the replacement parts are there, before they baklas it.
but i am curious, po.
might i inquire,
what is this car, whose spare parts seem to be difficult to source locally?

if you need to repair the Parts, you don't have to pay 22k and besides why do you have to replace everything if you don't need to, logically if you replace everything then you shouldn't hear any noise from your suspension at all because everything is all new, you just have to replace the ones that really needs to be repaired or replace
in my case almost all suspension parts are gone bad talaga. even the shock absorber doesnt response to bumps when we road test it (may leak na). we tried to check each parts na concern dun sa kalampag at pwede pa magamit but none cannot be used anymore. this was done at banawe. butas nga lang bulsa ko that day.but my rear suspension doesn't have problem. only the front ones is replaced.

pakiramdaman mo kung saan galing ang kalampag![]()
assume ko na na si TS eh di maalam sa kotse or di mahilig sa DIY. if you want to save go to either zee carplus or cruven. kung alin malapit sa iyo para madali kung may back jobs. google mo na lang mga branch ng cruven. yun zee carplus sa san juan lang kasi. madalas pag mulan ng kalampag sa nissan ay shock mounting and ball joints (all kinds). rarely sa rubber bushings manggaling ang kalampag sa nissan. if i were you, sulit ang replacement ball joint na 555 kesa sa recondition like what cruven and zee carplus do. di kasi maganda experience ko. sa malaking ball joint lang kasi maganda yung product nila pero sa maliliit na ball joint sablay.
kung ako sa iyo .... punta ka sa banawe tapos pa estimate mo muna ang sirai can get may mechanic to check your susupension and estimate you the complete damage ng car mo
