mas mura ba shock absorbers sa likod compare sa harap?

[mk]

tanong ko lang...may nakita ako dati sa isang board na nagsasabi na mas mura daw ang shocks sa likod compare sa harap ng car...is it true?, car is nissan ss3 , anyways paano malalaman kun sira or tumatagas na ng oil yung shocks sa likod?, hirap kasi tignan eh...

Sir most cars use gas type shocks sa front at fluid type shocks sa rear. Mas mahal ang gas type shocks.

Regarding sa leaking shocks sa rear, kung mahirap pong tignan kung may leak mararamdaman naman po kung may problem na sa shocks kung may thug na tunog sa likod especially pag dumaan kayo sa medyo lubak. Pero mas maigi pong dalhin na lang ninyo sa servitek para maiangat ang car ninyo at makita ng maayos yung shocks.....

mahal nga ang shocks sa harap kaysa sa likod.
kapapalit ko lang last month ng rear shocks, KYB gas-a-just (gas-type ba)
and it cost P1,350 each (P400. ang labor).
wala naman kaming nakita na leak pero talagang palitin na ang shocks ko.
kapag diniinan mo yung likod e talagang bagsak agad kaya naman pla tatlo lang ang passengers ko e sayad na.
putcha, nuong nakakabit na yung bagong shocks, oks na oks na.

front shocks cost P2thou+ daw.

depends on what kind of car you're driving... most FF cars put weight in front so the front shocks have to be made to a higher standard.

nako po... bakit yung sentra namin pinalitan ng gas shocks.. yung price eh 3,200 each.. nako po... naloko na naman kaya pala mura labor... KYB gas shocks din...

[zildjian]

actually the prices of shocks depends on the suspension type of the car. usually mas mahal ang mc-pherson type strut for the front and the independent link type for the rear. yung mga torsion beam type suspension sa likod ay mura lang (hindi P2000+). also, mas mura ang shocks ng mga auv.

Baka mas mahal ang sa front kasi bigat ng engine????

[pajerokid]

In my case, pareho lang price.

For my Fronts... KYB Gas-A-Just din, like Zero's, but i got them for Php 800 per piece.

Rear ko... KYB Super same price din.

Both are low pressure gas shocks, but mas maganda Gas-A-Just coz theyre stiffer. Pansin ko lang, mas mahal pa shocks ng mga sedan kesa sa Paje. Iba kasi ang design, mas complex.

mk,

Mas mahal ang front shocks kesa rear. For Series 3, gas type yung ilagay mo sa rear. KYB is OK, puwede din Tokiko.

Kung sa front naman, puwede na din KYB (on budget). Pero I'd suggest to get the Nissan Key Value shocks. Mas matibay kesa KYB, at mas maganda ang ride. Yung kasing orig ng Series 3 eh sobrang smooth ng ride, so pag nag-switch na sa KYB eh noticeable na ang stiffness. Pero pag nagtagal eh masasanay ka na rin. Tumatagal din naman KYB, at least 2 years.

madali lang malaman kung nagleleak ang shocks mo. the best is to jack up the car or u can turn the wheel all the way to the left or the right and leave it like that . then take a peek under ur wheel wells. just make sure u didn't run through a puddle or u didnt just had the car washed. in short ur car's underchassis must be dry. actually a leaking shock absorber is very obvious once u peek under. u can touch the shock stem to check for leaking fluid. just make sure to return the wheel to its normal position. leaving it like that is very straineous to ur tie rods.

front shocks are bigger in over-all diameter compared to the ones in the rear. that's why they're more expensive. of course they have to beef up the front suspension (most especially in front wheel drive cars) to cope up with all the weight of the engine , drivetrain and other components.
