Kung gusto talaga makasiguro, pwd mo ata pa check either DIY or sa Gas station.
Pa lift mo lang, tapos i try mo sway yung stabilizer link.
Dapat matigas o hindi madaling gumalaw yung stabilizer link if ok pa siya.
If sa rear naman, may maririnig kang kalampag dapat if worn out na.
Same din ang process if gusto mo talagang i check if worn out siya or not.
kung normal roads mo lang ginagamit malayong masisira yan at 6 years.
paano naman nasabi ng rapide na worn out na yung stab link eh meron sleeve ito?
meron akong friend na more than 200k na ang mileage and 2013 model sya. wala pa naman issue whatsoever.
pwede bang post mo dito yung stab link assembly para makita namin kung worn out na nga. isama mo na yung mga rubber bushings nya.

Salamat Bossing, pero nabasa ko na sa Tsikot yung negative feedback about Rapide, pwede ka pala ma-ban sa Tsikot kapag pumupunta ka sa Rapide... lol

Para mapanatag loob mo palitan mo na lang mura lang mga parts na yan.

in the first place,
why did you decide to have your vehicle checked?
were you feeling something abnormal now that wasn't there before?
i don't know about the others, but
my usual symptom of worn out suspension parts, is THE SOUND when i drive over un-even road surface. "lumalagutok." every car owner knows it. it's the sound of $$$.
i'm not going to bad-mouth rapide, but i would recommend you have your car checked elsewhere. the goodyear servitek is ok with me.
i have tried them, whereupon they said "ok pa naman ang inyo".
if you wish, you can have your alignment checked (again!). it is SOP kasi, that they first check the suspension for wear, before they align.
you can emphasize to them to "please check my suspension also", even as they really do it as a matter of procedure. aligning before fixing the worn suspension, is akin to throwing away money.
abutan nyo na lang nang kaunting tip.
suspension systems are usually long-lasting.
my 2005 innova with 130K km is still on its original suspension...
good luck.

Since pinacheck mo na rin lower arm pacheck mo na rin ball joint. Pag bushings bumigay maingay lang. Pag balljoint bumigay aray.
21k pesos for suspension arms sounds like brandnew sets. Some suspension shops can refresh your stock arms by just replacing the worn out parts.

I think okay naman ang balljoints and bushings kasi sa another tire service center ko dinala at chineck nila ang wheel alignment, kasi previously noong nagpawheel alignment ako ng another vehicle namin 2 years ago sinabi nilang kailangan munang ayusin ang balljoints and bushings para malagyan ng wheel alignment, pero for this Kia Sportage Vehicle, hindi naman daw naalis ang wheel alignment nya based from their findings...
Replace it nonetheless. Since pinagawa ko na, mura lang mga parts na yan.
