Need help on this parts big suspension problem

[floss13]

Good evening mga sir!

Already posted a thread regarding about shock absorbers. Kakabalik lang galing province at pinasilip ko na ilalim ng auto kanina sa rapide. At medyo pricey pala sila dun. Breakdown ko lang un mga parts na kelangan mga sir ang dami kasi nakita tama sa ilalim sobrang tagal na rin kasi from stock lahat since 2002 ngayon lang bumigay mga ito.

2 Shock absorber front
2 Shock absorber rear
2 Stabilizer clamp bushing front
2 Stabilizer link assembly front
2 Shock boot

Tanong ko lang mga sir kung san ba ko hahanap ng mga piyesa na to anong magandang BRAND, at kung magkano na din sana(kahit idea lang importante po para ma quote ang total), pasay or makati area. Maraming Salamat



2002 Honda VTI-S

magkano quote nila syo sa labor and parts?

[floss13]

nasa 41k boss lahat kasama alignment. un front shocks kasi 12k na, naisip ko parang mahal kasi my kyb na tig 3k lang isa tapos 2k para dun sa rear.

[Ponkan]

tama sir mag check ka muna ng mga prices ng parts, KYB ok na yan proven yan saka di ganun kamahal, un iba dyan gaya nun sa shock boot kaya pinapalitan na sympre para isang baklasan na lahat, dont know if may Zafra pa dyan sa Makati along Buendia pede ka dun magpa install nyan mga shocks, kumpleto din gamit nila so madali lang ikabit yan basta kaw na bumili ng mga parts, basta pa estimate mo muna baka mas mura

[babynos01]

Go to other shops or any trusted mechanic of yours Sir.
Maraming stories sa rapide haha.
Search tsikot to find out.

[floss13]

ok sir baka dalhin ko nalang sa ibang shop mahal kasi dun sa rapide eh.

[sirkosero]

Before anything else, get a 2nd opinion from other shops. stay away from rapide. You might want to read on the rapide thread.

Going back to topic, my brother found a distributor of kyb shocks somewhere in pasay taft among the row of auto supplies. He bought a pair of front shocks for his 97 civic. I forgot the name of the autosupply but according to my bro its cheaper there by about a 500-1k compared to my suki at partstar

[babynos01]

Good. Also read tsikot since member ka na rin Sir.
A lot of good advices here.

12K for a civic shock absorber? HAHA!
Makakabili ka na ng 4 na OEM haha!
yung sa tucson namin, if i remeber it right, 2.5K to 3K ang OEM shocks.

[floss13]

sirkoser boss ang mura nun ah 1k lang for a kyb? usually nasa 3k isa ang alam ko. hehe hahanapin ko nalang san kaya banda malapit sa taft un?

[sirkosero]

Correct ko lang bro. Cheaper siya by about 500-1k compared sa usual ko na binibilhan. Nasa pasay taft lang yun. Try ko tanong kay utol pangalan ng tindahan

[floss13]

hindi kasi ako nag babasa eh. hahaha ok bro sakto kasi andito lang ako malapit sa pasay taft. saktong sakto talaga

[roycruz]

Try mo din magpaquote sa zafra malapit sa mandaluyong city hall hanapin mo si Tommy. Maganda quality ng replacement parts na ginagamit nila and pinapapalitan lang nya kung talagang may sira.

[tip_tipid]

Pasay Taft , isa o dalawang kanto from EDSA, patungong Libertad ang mga auto supply. canvass ka duon. Meron din sa kabila, patungong Baclaran. Good luck..

rapide pala yan eh.
but to give you an estimate cost:

one front shock absorber (KYB) costs around 2.5-3.5k
stab clamp bushing costs at most 1.5k.
stab link assembly cost around 5k at most.
shock boot costs around 800 pesos each.

try mo dalahin kay Zee o kay Cruven.

Hahahaha... Rapide at it's finest indeed!

First and foremost, get a second opinion from another shop (Servitek, Motech, etc.). If you can drive to Banawe, that is a good option for a one time, big time suspension repair job and you have to buy the parts. You can try Wheelers Suspension Haus there for the repairs (although i'd go elsewhere for the alignment work afterwards).

For KYB shocks, set aside around 10K to 12K if you have to change all fours in your ES Civic. If you change the stab links, you may want to change your tie-rods and rack ends as well. Check na rin your balljoints. 555 is a good brand and this will not even go over 8-10K from your suking tindahan in Banawe or Pasay. You may want to repack your CV joints as well if you already have the suspension brought down... pang preventive maintenance na rin.

Sir nakabili naba kayo saka saan. Ako kailangan ko narin magpalit ng shocks ng altis. Nalala ko din yang rapide grabe sila dyan walang sira kotse mo nagkakaroon ng sira. Di ko na nga tinuloy ung free brake pads isipin mo everytime ka magpalit ng pads gusto reface ung rotor mo. Tapos dami gusto palitan pinasok ko sa casa sabi ng casa di naman daw dapat palitan ung mga sinabi nila.

[floss13]

nakapag canvass na ko kanina sa pasay taft sir ok na ba presyo nito?

kyb shocks front = 5,200
kyb shocks rear = 2,200
555 stab link = 650
bushing = 350
labor
total = 6,200x2=12,400 + 2,000(labor and machine)
overall: P18,800

Mas mahal pala yung shocks sa harap kesa sa likod.

[sirkosero]

Try mo daw mycar motorparts sa pasay taft.!

Hi everyone. Longtime lurker suddenly needing help. My problem is similar to TS, so I decided not to start my own thread.

Need help on suspension repairs for a 2004 Ford Lynx. Had it assessed by a Ford Casa, and they gave me a list of what needs to be replaced.
- Front left and right stabilizer links
- Front left and right stabilizer link bushings
- Front left and right lower arm assembly
- Rear left and right spacer
- Rear left and right shock absorbers
- Rear left and right shock mountings
- Rear left and right stabilizer links
- Rear stabilizer link bushings

I'll not even mention the quoted cost for parts at Ford. Baka matawa lang kayo. Any recommendations on how to go about this? Thanks, Tsikot.

edit - by the way, from the South ako, so baka may alam kayong closer here than Banawe or Pasay. Thanks again.
