    meron na ba shop na may suspension tester / shock absorber tester / side slip tester within metro manila (yung hindi LTO PMVIC/MVIS, kase kung PMVIC/MVIS puro testing lang, wala adjustment na magaganap kung may makita problema sa side slip test)?

    mas okay kase kung calibrated machine ang mag test ng suspension kaysa sa manual bounce test or leak test lang ang basis

    stock shock absorber cannot be adjusted.

    actually, I don't think stock suspension of normal cars can be adjusted.

    if a car fails the PMVIC's suspension test... better replace everything since pinakalas mo na rin

    i agree.
    if the car "fails the test", parts have to be replaced. arms, ball joints, bushings and shocks, i suspect.
    alignment lang ang puede i-adjust, but only after the worn parts are replaced.

    bring it to the MVIS. if it passes the test, then we have nothing to worry about.

    nice to have when buying a used car

    I also wonder if its calibrated to match PMVIC standards.

    repair shop sana hanap ko para ma adjust yung alignment na din on the spot, di tulad sa MVIS na puro testing lang
