How do you spot a fake 3 Five suspension parts?....please

[miked]

Hello people!

I'm saving up for my next DIY which is to replace the ball joints as well as the control arm bushings on my 2wd coil sprung (front) pickup. My uncle says he spent P5k exclusive of the control arm bushings (3Five brand) on upper and lower bushings on his isuzu pickup.

Kindly shed some light on the question above.

Plus, anybody done the job the DIY way not the DFM (do-it-for-me) way? If ever, did you use a compressor or just the simple jack to unload the spring?

TIA

So far i have not encountered any fake 555 products from what i know. I just stick to buying from the larger or more established suking tindahans in Banawe. The boxes/parts also come in with a hologram 555 sticker and are wrapped/sealed well in plastic. Take also a look at the quality of the packaging.

Bili ka na lang sa mga reputable shops. Sa roosevelt ako bumibili. Sa fertes. Mura lang don.

^ as i recall, taga north yung TS.. regards bro miked

BTT: so far, i have not encountered fake 555 (or probably what I thought to be original is in truth the fake one )

and, for safety reason, use spring compressor.. sabi nga dito sa bulacan, nasa huli ang pagsisisi... cheers..

First, thanks to all who replied.

Sir niwde,

the isuzu pickup mentioned is my uncle's which is torsion bar equipped...mine is a mitsubishi mighty max (those subic imports) but basically the parts are all L200-based except that mine has a shorter wheelbase.

My motto is that I'd rather put original parts on suspension, steering and brake parts rather than the engine....Mahirap na, kahit 30kmh lang takbo mo eh tumatakbo makina pero hindi nagana mga brakes at pang-ilalim. nakakatakot yun.

[crazy_boy]

sir, mukhang ok yung mighty max ah. i suggest you buy from your suki. to be sure, you also have to look at built quality.

OT, matagal na ba mighty max mo? around how much selling ng ganyan?

[miked]

1986.....and i assume hindi pinalitan ng dating owner yung mga suspension parts. inakupow!!!....200k bili nun 3 years ago ata.

tarlac bosing...may suking auto store naman ako dito pero malay natin baka may one-in-a-million chance na japeyks makuha ko.

[normanenoza]

advise lang. never play fate with the spring, it can kill pag bumitaw. IMHO lang, since worldwide ang market ng 555 products, any news of fake ones will be all over the net.

kung suki naman okay yan. usually they will tell you. meron kasing parang grade ang pagkafake. so try to study how to spot fake ones.

Pino yung pagkakagawa ng 555 na logo, nadali na rin ako ng fake 555 ball joints. Sgalit lang luwang agad. Ito yung plastic niya ay wlang sticker ng 555 hologram.

[phezthie]

in short, me fake nga pala na 555 parts .... I need to be careful now...

[ReXBadBoy]
