ano ba talagang mas maganda between a fluid type and a gas type? which is more suited for our road conditions? pros and cons in using either one?

for our road conditions, fluid shock dahil mas soft and smoother ang ride nya.
ang con lang ng using fluid shocks eh mas less durable sya compared to gas shocks.

Comfort: fluid front and rear
Hauling: gas ako esp rear in comb with fluid in front
Lowered: gas front and rear

[afrasay]

for comfort- fluid
for control - gas

The prime function of gas charging is to minimize aeration of the hydraulic fluid. The pressure of the nitrogen gas compresses air bubbles in the hydraulic fluid. This prevents the oil and air from mixing and creating foam. Foam affects performance because it can be compressed - fluid can not. With aeration reduced, the shock is able to react faster and more predictably, allowing for quicker response time and helping keep the tire firmly planted on the road surface.

Koni sport adjustable shocks is the best suited for our road conditions. It will last the lifetime of your car.

better gas for durability and if you plan to load the car.

I hate gas type matalbog

[tip_tipid]

gas filled shocks are most suited for hiway and high speed driving condition.
it has a smmother ride than fluid types under this condition.

old cars usually fluid type shocks ang nakakabit pero yung mga bagong models na car lahat almost gas type

usually we auto supplies recommend fluid sa harap then gas sa likod ...

pero mga cars ngayon gas type shocks na ang lumalabas kaya you have no choice but to change to gas type shocks

[speedyfix]

i prefer gas shocks but that's just me.

[notEworthy27]

just my two cents, ano ba ang magandang alternative to OME if my budget is low? I have to change my rear shocks asap. Sira na eh. hehehe.

Question po, pwede bang gas sa front then fluid sa rear?

Ayos pa naman yung mga shocks ko, kaya lang, medyo stiff yung rear ko kaya parang gusto ko palitan ng fluid.

hindi magpapantay ang ride mo nyan bro. dahil kung gagawin mo ito, the fronts are a bit stiff than the rear. it may result in a bouncier ride dahil the rear cannot compensate the stiffness of the front.

I see. Thanks for that info kapatid!

Not to intentionally hi-jack the thread, since this refers to shock absorbers, i would just like to ask about the signs and symptoms of an already defective shock absorber?

ang gas shock kontra

if it is fluid, aside from it bounces after going through humps or bumpy roads, the absence of oil leaking at the sides.

pag gas, bouncing lang as mentioned above.

if it is really dead, your car's stance will show it, wherein hindi pantay ang tindig.

[speedyfix]

even if gas yung shock, there is still fluid inside so if that leaks then palit rin.
