Ok lang ba hindi muna ipagawa ang Stabilizer links and Suspension Arm Assembly?

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

Kakaayos lang ng Drive Belt at ATF Transmission Fluid replacement. Medyo ayaw ko muna gumastos e...

Any thoughts/opinions?

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...
