    wow, mahal talaga yan boss kung palit lahat ng bago. have you heard of cruven ?? they can re built your shocks and other suspension parts at a very reasonable cost. they did my car few years back and until now less pa lang ang kalampag.

    you can check the forums under suspension siguro, marami na rin tsikoteers ang nagpagawa dyan. try niyo magpa estimate sa kanila, im sure less than half ang ma sasave niyo.

    good luck !

    Pressing is the cheaper option but not necessarily the best. If you plan to keep your car , then go for the new parts , original or replacement.

    Replace them would be a better choice, it may cost you a bit more but at least you have peace of mind.

    Tried those repaired joints and shocks by Zee, but it does not last long.

    meron akong bad experience sa nagiinject na yan, yung last letter of alpahabet ito
    nag baklasin na ang pang ilalim ko, tinignan ko ang mga ito bago dinala na ito sa itaas at doon daw nila ginagawa ang injection of parts.
    then meron ko nadidinig na malalakas na palo at ng bumaba na ang gumagawa tinignan ko uli ito meron na akong mga tool mark na nakita espesially sa balljoint, sinabi ko sa gumagawa na bago niya gawin ito walang ganito at baka pinalo lang niya, then sinabi ko sa office nila kausap ko yung secretarya na babae at kinausap niya yung gumagawa at pilit na tinatangi na pinukpok niya ito, kaya hinayaan ko na lang, then nang matapos na after ilang araw bumalik uli yung ingay, ayaw ko nang ibalik sa kanila at wala na akong tiwala, dinala ko na lang sa shop ng kapatid niya sa likod ng crame ng tinignan ng gumagawa duon ang sabi pinukpok lanhg ito kasi nakalubog ang housing ng mga balljoint, then susubukan nilang inject baka makuha pa, then ng inject nanila lumobo uli ang housing ng balljoint, doon ko lang sinabi ng maconfirm na nila na pinukpok ito na pinagawa ko ito sa shop ng kapatid niya, kausap ko mismo si Mr C.

    there are many tried and tested replacement parts.

    kyb for shocks.

    555 for balljoints.

    brand new replacement na lang gamitin mo, IMO.

    Same experience here. Stay away from Zee or Cruven. They dont last long. You end up spending more for labor. Better get replacement parts in banawe and have them installed by your mechanic.

    Zee and Cruven would be advisable for hard to find parts lang. but if you have a corolla, aftermarket replacements are better.

ok lng ba ipapressed ang balljoint,rack end and tie rod end???
