Suspension parts: Replace with 555 or Restored by Cruven/Zee

[MR JETH EMPANADA]

Mag papayos ako ng pang ilalim ng Civic EK (tie rods, ball joints, bushings etc).... tipid mode.... ano kaya mas ok at mas tatagal? replacement parts na 555 brand o pa inject ko na lang sa cruven/zee?

feedback naman na mga naka pag painject sa kanila yung matagal na mga more than 1 year na... ok pa rin ba?

mr empanada,
your steering linkages are subjected to a lot of stresses while you are driving and they wear out in time. some of them like tie rods last about two years, bushings last about five years, ball joints last about two years in bumpy roads. your steering systems sometimes determine between life and death specially if you drive in the freeway or expressway. it is your choice but not the choice of someone who you might hit because of your car's deficiency. if the joints have slacks on them whether loaded or unloaded, they shall be replaced. injecting them with lubricant is okay if the condition of the joint is free of defects. trying to skimp( i understand of the costs) might lead to unnecessary accidents. let your conscience be your guide.

Suggest you buy 555 suspension parts at Banawe Area and have it installed at Servitek, Rapide or other reputable shops. I have already canvassed the labor/ parts cost at Cruven before and found out much expensive comparing installing brand new replacement parts. Besides, they don't have any special service tools at their shops such as coil spring compressor, ball joint/ tie rod separator. Puro de- pukpok and mano mano gawa nila and their wheel alignment machine is not that modern.

boss,

question din po regarding 555, ano po name nung shop na pinagbilhan nyo sa banawe? at itong 555 po japan po ba ito?

Suggestion ko rin 555 . i use it on my corolla , sentra and last long . Marami namang auto supply na nagbebenta ng 555 brand sa Banawe.

[jaymd]

for suspension parts, replace, don't repair.

tama si chon961

i just replaced my parts yesterday at banawe with a decent shop and experienced na mekaniko.. magaling sila talaga... cost me minimal lang.. brandnew lahat.. ball joint, tire rod end, rack end, stab link, shock absorber... KYB Excel G and 555.. nawala kalambag.. as in 0%... hehe... malambot na ulit ang ride.. nagpunta ako sa Cruven before magreplaced but the cost is as much as replacing with brandnew parts... satisfied ako.. just go to banawe.. find a decent shop there.... =)

+1 sa japan made 555, mas matibay pa siya kaysa sa OEM na mitsubishi parts for my lancer itlog.
