    any simple tests to determine if the shocks or the springs need replacement? i feel that the rear suspension is a bit soft -- parang malambot sobra at bumibigay without really pressing too hard on it.

    sa talambuhay ko, parang di pa ko nagpapalit ng spring... athough shocks madalas.

    simple test to determine if you already need to change your rear shocks is to press hardly on the rear of the car (you might need to put your whole weight on it). kung matalbog na parang naba-bounce at walang bawi, then your shocks are shot.

    Feeling ko shock absorber yan meron kaming almost 20 years old na sasakyan dito hindi naman nagbabago yung tension nung coil spring palagi lang shocks ang pinapalitan "Unless" kung yung coil spring mo is pina-initan or pinutulan maaring pwede dun magkaron ng problema. Ano nga palang sasakyan yan bro?

    malambot talaga coil springs sa likod ng modelong yan.. halata lalo na kung puno ang likod. you can change them with a more stiff aftermarket parts if you want but better check your shocks first.

    check the shocks first. they're the ones that usually give out first.
