Suspension bushings replacement for my Lancer GL '97

[choycontreras]

My ride's not been so good lately, lumalabas na lahat ng kanyang rayuma in the form of a bumpy ride. I think all front bushings need replacement dahil kumakalantog na ang harapan ko everytime I encounter a tall speedbump, however slow I go. My fluid shocks' arent the problem nor my engine supports as they have just recently been replaced.

160T km na ang kotse ko and I havent changed any of these bushings. Saan kaya may maayos na shop s Banawe to give it a complete inspection, assessment and repair.

Should I go trouble myself to get the complete set replacements from those 'auto shops' in Palapaan, Apalit -Pampanga? Baka kasi abutin ako dito sa Manila a minimum of 8-10T e.

Try mo sa SP International. Ok naman experience ko sa kanila.
They'll advise you pag palit buo or pwede namang irepack (tama ba?) replace 1 part of an assembly lang. And which ones to go orig or replacement. May resident mekaniko sila dun. Kausapin mo lang na gusto mo lang pa-estimate muna.

Most people, I think go to Midas sa may Park Square, lagi ko naririnig yan sa clubmitsu, pa-estimate ka dun. Know which parts need to be replaced first before going to banawe.
Ang maganda kasi sa Midas, sasakay yung mekaniko nila for a test drive, listen to the kalampags, get a feel of the car then ieevaluate yung car mo. May mga lifters din sila dun so kita talaga nila yung ilalim. They can give you an estimate without removing anything unlike sa banawe kasi jack lang gamit nila. :mrgreen:

Or pwede din nga to order parts from zildjian. Yun nga lang, ikaw magdedecide lahat.

uy boybits....san ba ung SP international?
kasi dati nagpacheckk ako sa midas, may kalampag kasi ako naririning....lancer car ko...alam ko medyo prone sa kalampag eh...kaso parang sobra na eh....

[boybitz]

mel,
yung SP nasa unang kanto ng banawe from e rod. Pag galing ka e rod, turn right sa banawe, first corner right uli.
si Jo hanapin mo, nakalimutan ko name nung other guy.

Just had it fixed at Prens Alabang (beside Toyota) by Carding the mechanic. Fixed prices sila pero reasonable, labor is variable pwede kang kumausap derecho sa mekaniko - medyo mura sila sumingil. Pag may problema, pwede ka bumalik.

Had one engine support and both front shocks changed to Kayaba. They fixed my car until 730 evening! Combined neighborhood talyer friendliness and technical ability of the bigger auto shops.

(The day earlier I went to Glenn's shop in Cubao pero iisa lang ang mekaniko e may naka-salang na kotse sa kanya kaya di na ko makabalik.)

nga lang yan tlga sakit daw ng lancer...ung akin kasi papalitan na ung rear bushings eh...pero di pa naman sira...pero pwede na palitan....

check mo rin kasi baka minsan ung kalampag galing lang sa loob ng car mo...

btw magkano pala inabot mo?
nagpalit ka ba ng bushings?

KYB fluid P 2145* fixed price kasi sa Prens - took me a little more than P6T to have my suspension fixed.

Labor is cheap, friendly pa ang mga mekaniko.

Forgot about the bushings per mura lang - around 300*, kung bushings lang ang pagagawa mo baka mapamahal ka dahil sa labor. Pagsama-samahin mo na lahat ng underchassis repair para isa na lang charge sa labor.
