Suspension/shocks

**kudil** · March 2nd, 2008 01:59 PM

Good pm.

Need help. I want to replace my shocks. MMC 96 glxi. Any idea what kind/brand is affordable but performance worthy and where to buy. Engine oil and ATF is also dripping from my engine. Any idea of a car shop with mechanics specializing on this area?

Thanks!

There's a lot of shock absorber/suspension specialist along banawe area, just be honest and good to them regarding your problem and you won't be fooled. You can choose where to buy your shock and have it replaced there for a good price. Then regarding your angine oil and ATF, there's a need for you to go to a car shop (many along banawe) and have it fixed. It's not normal for dripping engine oil and ATF fluid. There could be a huge problem.
I'm just curious, from where I'm standing, your car is pretty ageing and you should have a trusty and friendly car mechanic by now as your car's doctor, where are your trusty mechanics now? Or you just bought that car as 2nd hand owner?

sir, try niyo sa atco (pasay)... ok mga parts dun lahat OEM for mitsu... as for the shocks, try niyo yung tokico gas type. cheaper then the kyb gas type and mas maganda yung ride.

yes, if budget is quite limited, which i assume your budget's priority is the leaking of the ATF fluid, Zee or Cruven will be ok in restoring your shocks.

Sir feeter,

Just bought my ageing car last year and since then, I've had a lot of mechanics who replaced the oil seal of the transmission. Oil seal was replaced about 4x this year. Cost me a lot for the labor itself. I'm thinking of replacing my entire transmission. Anybody who could give me a nice deal?hehe. Regarding the suspension system, my budget runs from 10k-15k. Any idea of what brand or where I could it get from. Any shop u know in banawe?

Thanks!

why did you have it replaced 4 times? sana pinabackjob mo nalang sa mechanic mo. looks like they are either using defective parts or it is time to replace the mechanic.

tagasaan ka ba, bro?

kung malapit ka sa banawe, punta ka sa motorix for the shocks. . .exclusive mitsu parts dealer. . .reasonable ang price nila for kyb. . .nasa 2nd block sila sa kanan if you come from e rodriguez sr ave

one reputable shop is cruven sa crame. . .take santolan road from edsa going to san juan. . .take right agad sa may 7-11 then you have to take a left soon after that. . .me mga signs naman sila in that vicinity. . .

sa speedy fix, alam ko nagpapalit din sila ng shocks. . .see their contact number sa signature nya. . .

yung tungkol sa oil drips, tama si migs. . .dapat magpalit ka na ng mekaniko. . .hehhe

peace of christ
