shock absorber repair

[ryandr]

Hey Guys,

Oki ba yung magpa-repair ng Shock absorbers...saka pano ba nila ginagawa yun? kse sa may banawe nagsabi sa akin na instead na bumili ako ng bago,,repair na lang daw..P350 isang shocks...may ilalagay ata sila na liquid something para gumana ulit yung shocks eh...advisable ba yun?

thanks

Definitely costs cheaper per repair/refill. At 350/piece, plus labor then you'd have to repair it again maybe twice a year if you don't get lucky and the whole system leaks.

Then compare a new shock which costs less than 1000/piece and labor which will last a couple of years or more.

You do the math, I hate computations. :D

at 350/piece...kasama na po labor dun...meaning i'll just go for the repair...salamat po!!!

If you are cutting costs in your maintenance, please do it wisely.

I have already tried those refills from previous rides which was only used for city driving. It did last as much as it did cost me, about a week or two. Then I had to redo and change all shocks for new ones, which costed more than I should have done in the first place.

i wouldn't advise repairing shocks. especially when replacement shocks are cheap lang naman. save yourself the hassle and extra cost and go for the brand new replacement shocks.

walang kwenta yan repair, di nagtatagal. kahit yun surplus sa bangketa, hit or miss yan.

wag pa-repair! get KYBs!

pare ko, kapapalit ko lang ng shocks.
550 lang for a brand new kyb (fluid) 850 kung Gas, made in Japan.Problema lang sa repair, paano yung mga bushings. Luma pa rin ba ang ikakabit nila? I think a brand new fluid type shocks is cheaper in the long run...

[speedyfix]

some shocks come with the bushings already. some don't. usually, the more expensive brands are also more complete when it comes to parts such as thisÜ

KYBs come with bushings. OME's bushings are even Polyurethane.
