June 1st, 2016 07:41 PM #1Hello,
Just wondering what suspension parts should be checked when we want to restore car ride quality to be like new:
1. Shock Absorbers - Front & Rear
2. Shock Mounting - Front & Rear
3. Stabilizer Links - Front & Rear
4. Control Arms (upper/lower, if applicable) - Front & Rear
5. Tie Rods/Rack Ends - Front & Rear
6. Engine/Transmission Mounting
Anything I missed?
Thanks!

1. Shock Absorbers - Front & Rear
2. Shock Mounting - Front & Rear
3. Stabilizer Links - Front & Rear
4. Control Arms (upper/lower, if applicable) - Front & Rear
5. Tie Rods/Rack Ends - Front & Rear
6. Engine/Transmission Mounting
7. Tires
Anything else? Making a checklist lang. Lumuluma na mga kotse namin haha.

If you can replace the shock absorbers with the same brand as OEM, the better.

Thanks for this. Checking these out as well.
Oonga eh, made the mistake of replacing the FD liquid type shocks with KYB gas type shocks. Layo ng ride quality, went back to OEM.
Doon sa Camry naman, the KYB ones work very well.
Yeah the tie rods, rack ends and engine/tranny mounts are not necessarily suspension related pero sinama ko na rin, as these may(?) introduce unecessary vibration in the car?
Hehe

a car aficionado once remarked, "when you restore an old car (he was refering to VWs).. whatever else you do.. no matter how much money you pour into the project.. she will still feel like driving an old car!"
yeah, you can restore the car... but only up to the level of technology that designed that car.. no more..
Just bought a 2017 Everest Trend. Has 12,112Kms on it kaya pinatulan ko na for 700K. Only issue...
