shock mount

[vito corleone]

consult ko sa inyo mga bro. . .

okay lang ba gumamit ng replacement na shock mount?. . .mahigit 2k petot kasi ang oem while around 500 lang ang replacement nung nagtanong ako. . .isang piraso pa lang yun, ha, e dalawa papalitan ko. . .

ano ang mga epekto pag gumamit ako ng replacement lang?

maraming salamat, mga bro. . .

ako din same as the TS... and ask ko na din if paano malalaman kung kailangan na palitan yung shock mounts?

thanks

i'm not an expert pero i'll give it a try..

base sa mga nabasa ko sa ibang forums..1 way to check if your shock mount is already due for replacement is to check the rubber parts po sa top, pag may mga crack na siya then its time to replace it na..

ganun kasi nangyari sa akin dati...malala na yung sa akin...tumutunog pag umaabante ako and stop..may tok..pag check ko, ayun..butas na pala..yung pinalitan ko, ayun wala ng tok na sound..HTH

thanks sir... papacheck ko na lang yung akin. hindi ganon yung prob ng rear ko eh.

the rears halos hindi pinapalitan. yung front lang kadalasan. they also make noise minsan when turning the wheel.

sa akin, kung yung replacement eh tatagal lang ng one to two years, magpapalit na lang ako ng OEM.

salamat, migs, ken. . .

my front shock mounts are due for replacement na. . .what i want to know is the price that i'm gonna pay for being cheap on this one by using replacement brands instead of oem. . .is this one of the parts na kailangan e oem ang ipalit or pwede na ang mas murang replacement brand?

Sir kung mag replacement ka bili ka na lang ng surplus mga around 400 petot.

pag sira na shock mount maingay yan and one way to check is the rubber surroundings.. dapat medyo naka lubog pa yung rubber surroundings nya pag yan ay naka angat na eh sira na yan (looks like rubber surrounding ng subwoofer pag sira na) hindi po sapat na may "cracks" lang kasi even sa brandnew shock mounts you will see cracks but hairline lang naman lalo na pag na install na... the rubber surroundings in shock mounts separates the shock from the car chassis, the rubbers absorb vibration that will be coming from the shock absorbers just like an engine support sa kapag masyado na compressed yung rubber due to wear and tear, hindi na effective in absorbing vibration and will cause irritating cabin noise

Pwede ba diy installation nito or mahirap?

[yapoy86]

if you have the proper tools and knowledge about how this stuff works and the proper techniques then replacing this would be a piece of cake... I had done this shock mounting and shock absorber to my kia carnival (you know how heavy and big a kia carnival so you can imagine also how big its shock absorbers and mounts) and I can say to you its very easy aside from the fact that it is heavy.. but for cars/sedans it is much easier since the parts are small and easy to handle

just an update, mga bro. . .went to cruven yesterday and had my shock mounts checked. . .it turned out that my shock mounts will still be serving for some time. . .yapoy was right, cracks are not enough indications to change them. . .

tinanong ko na rin na if ever magpapalit ng shock monts e pwede na ang replacement brand, hindi naman daw critical yung part so pwede daw. . .any comment on this?. . .

[speedyfix]

front shock mounts can be seen through the holes in the engine compartment.

normally they have either large cracks or the bearings/bushings are worn na.

salamat, migs. . .

maybe i should aks si wifey to take the car to your place for another opinion. . .malapit lang ang office nya jan sa inyo, the problem is, she doesn't comprehend anything about cars. . .talagang drive lang

[speedyfix]

sure tell her to swing by. it should be pretty easy to check naman and it's up to you na if you wanna have the work done or not we can just give you an estimate for future reference.
