Hi,

Ano po ba advantage/disadvantage ng liqiud type na shocks sa gas type shocks?

[Mojo]

liquid

confortable at less tagtag, malambot kaya di masyado ideal sa performance car or pag karera kasi pag lumiliko nasasagad ang shocks, mas mura kesa gas type na shock.

Gas.

mas matigas, matagtag kaunti, pero mas matibay kasi mas matigas ang shock absorber, pag karera kasi pag nag corner o lumiko, di nasasagad kaagad at mas maganda grip ng gulong pag take off kasi lumalaban ang shocks, mas mahal kesa liquid, pero mas matibay at mas matagal masira

[Mojo]

pag gusto mo maganda ang ride quality at wala ka masyado sakay kalimitan kaw lang sakay mag liquid type ka.

pero pag loaded ka lagi like madami karga, mas ideal ang gas type kasi pag loaded or may loaded, gumaganda at nababawasan ang tagtag ng gas type.

what if sa front ko lng sya gamitin (liquid type ok lng ba?

[Mojo]

cars have different combo shocks


minsan gas type sa harap, kasi yung engine ng FWD cars nasa harap, kaya loaded na kaagad ng weight, at fluid sa likod.

meron naman puro gas shocks or puro liquid shocks,

depende talaga sa kotse.

maganda gawin dyan, is to replace the present type of sa shock mo wid the same one kung wala ka naman reklamo.

meron nang thread tungkol dyan dito. search mo na lang. to answer your question:

liquid type: generally cheaper, generally softer ride quality which equates to fair handling
gas type: expensive, firm ride qualiy which equates to better handling

although may mga adjustable liquid type shocks na akong nakita wherein you can set the ride quality to soft, medium, hard pero grabe mas mahal pa sa gas type kaya di ko binili

in addition, di naman basta gas mas matigas sya. There are cars that are naturally heavy and requires gas to start off with like Benzes, kahit mga 1960s gas type na and lambot padin ang ride.

Nasa tamang tono lang yan (pressure vs weight of the car)

Ano ba usually ang type ng shock absorber ng pick-up (yung stock)? Fluid ba o gas? Yung sa amin kasi fluid daw pero di ako sigurado

[joelanp]

mine kasi is a Corolla GLI '98 so what do you think if i change my fronts with liquid type. Hindi rin nman madalas na marami ako sakay very seldom lng pag weekends with my kids

[joelanp]

one more thing medyo matagtag na talaga ride ko sa front.
