Question on new car's suspension system.

[Howard Roark]

How long a new car's suspension go trouble free from the time you take it from the dealer.

From the time you bought your car, how long does it take before you replace/ repair your suspension parts (bushings, shock absorbers, supports)?

Please state your car's make and model.

Thanks!

Sir I think you are also referring to your 6 month Altis problems. Here are some threads that you can post in and get quick referrence .

Howard,

That depends on three factors:

1. Type of usage
2. Type of driving
3. Type of roads

If you use it frequently, you will have to replace them sooner. If you drive hard or are not careful on the road (potholes, etc) you'll also have to replace them sooner. Finally if the roads are bad, it accelerates the wear and tear on the suspension components.

* memphis raines, thanks!

But the suspension system in general is what I want to know. Which car has the toughest OEM suspension system, comparing their class and cost.

It will be better if there could be posts from altis owners out there so I can compare my ride with theirs...

I can never tell.

Since I live in the south and drive on the SLEX, I usually have my first problems (any car) within the first 50,000 kms.

Hell, I dented one mag within 20,000 kms... (that's stock, with stock tires)... that's how bad my daily commute is.
