shock absorber repair

[ryandr]

Hey Guys,

Oki ba yung magpa-repair ng Shock absorbers...saka pano ba nila ginagawa yun? kse sa may banawe nagsabi sa akin na instead na bumili ako ng bago,,repair na lang daw..P350 isang shocks...may ilalagay ata sila na liquid something para gumana ulit yung shocks eh...advisable ba yun?

thanks

Definitely costs cheaper per repair/refill. At 350/piece, plus labor then you'd have to repair it again maybe twice a year if you don't get lucky and the whole system leaks.

Then compare a new shock which costs less than 1000/piece and labor which will last a couple of years or more.

You do the math, I hate computations. :D

[ryandr]

at 350/piece...kasama na po labor dun...meaning i'll just go for the repair...salamat po!!!

If you are cutting costs in your maintenance, please do it wisely.

I have already tried those refills from previous rides which was only used for city driving. It did last as much as it did cost me, about a week or two. Then I had to redo and change all shocks for new ones, which costed more than I should have done in the first place.

i wouldn't advise repairing shocks. especially when replacement shocks are cheap lang naman. save yourself the hassle and extra cost and go for the brand new replacement shocks.

walang kwenta yan repair, di nagtatagal. kahit yun surplus sa bangketa, hit or miss yan.

wag pa-repair! get KYBs!

[ese]

pare ko, kapapalit ko lang ng shocks.
550 lang for a brand new kyb (fluid) 850 kung Gas, made in Japan.Problema lang sa repair, paano yung mga bushings. Luma pa rin ba ang ikakabit nila? I think a brand new fluid type shocks is cheaper in the long run...

[speedyfix]

some shocks come with the bushings already. some don't. usually, the more expensive brands are also more complete when it comes to parts such as thisÜ

[pajerokid]

KYBs come with bushings. OME's bushings are even Polyurethane.

[OTEP]

Yup, get KYB's. Torture tested na ang mga yan. And since everybody thinks its a crappy brand, mura siya. :D

[speedyfix]

i dunno nga why people think it isn't good... it's always been a good brand for me in my shop. hmmm... kulang lang sa marketing!

[ryandr]

ganun ba..sige bibili na lang ako ng KYB's....salamat po...btw, san po makakabili nya? anong shop po sa banawe or if ever near pasig lang...

salamat ulit!!! Happy new Year!!!

[pajerokid]

Familiarity breeds contempt.

Since palasak ang KYB, akala ng tao chipipay siya. Hindi nila ata alam yung stock ng sasakyan nila karamihan KYB.

IMO, KYB should re-introduce their performance line of shock absorbers. Image leader lang kung baga. Dati may KYB na red akong nakita, adjustable damping pa.

kyb shocks for 550 bux? mura pala! Where in banawe can i get kyb shocks? What can you suggest for a B14 guys.:D

OT: Miss ko na NB!!!!

[pajerokid]

Zanch, Yung mga sub 1k na KYBs, usually are the simple ones, like those on a Pajero, for example. For sedans, the price is usually around P1200 up.

[zanch]

whoah! mahal pala dude. Thanks for the info pajerokid..:D

[ryandr]

hey ese, san nyo po nabili yung kyb na worth 550? im interested po kse eh...XE95 pala yung car ko...oki ba dun yun?

[speedyfix]

i haven't seen any na below 1000 yet. for cars mga 1500 and up yung price depending on the model of the car (i.e. for the lancers mas mahal yung shocks because of the suspension design kaysa sa sa civic)

the red KYB's are the AGX line. 5 way adjustable yung ride nilaÜ

KYB na Php550? Yun ang fluid type ng Besta ko. Nabili ko sa Korean Parts Specialist sa may Banawe (near Orthopedic).

Mura lang ang truck shocks compared sa pang-kotse. Kaya ayoko na ulit magkaron ng kotse kasi ang mahal ng piyesa. hehehehe.
