shock absorber replacement

**12vdc** · April 26th, 2014 10:20 PM

Springs and torsion bars(if equipped) carry the weight of the car, not unless the strut mounting gave in which is very unlikely because connected sya sa control arms or chassis and held by several bolts. If you can crawl underneath, its easy to spot which parts are faulty or needs retirement.

Mga sir, sumasayad sa humps yung mazda 3 ko kapag 3 sakay sa likod. So palitin na po ang shocks neto tama? Do I need to replace also the coil spring?

Sa pagkakaalam ko, kung tama pa din ang tindig ng kotse mo, ok pa coil spring mo. Try mo ugain yung likod ng kotse. Pag bouncy na, palitan anb shock absorber.

sir hindi naman sya bouncy. Pero pag may mga sakay sa likod malapit na sumayad sa fender yung gulong pero di naman lowered. Then kapag my humps nga sumasayad. Pag ako lang sakay or 2 kami hindi naman.

mga Sirs, ganun pala yun, pag umuuga na, dapat nang palitan? yun bang kahit maliit na bata sasakay, uuga uga, dapat na palitan yun?

Better visual inspection pa din ng shocks. Pag may tagas na, palitin na.

some cars (like late 90s sentras) are known for bottoming out with heavy rear seat loads.. some cars (like bug-eye civics) have lower bottom clearance than other cars..
i do not know if replacing shocks at the rear, can significantly increase the ride height and minimize bottoming out...
mebbe TS get lifters, or limit rear passenger weight...

and before i consider changing my suspension because the tires rub against the body, i ask myself first... am i using the factory spec tires and rims? is it possible, the previous owner replaced the wheels with larger diameter ones?
