May Lumalagutok sa Harap

[erick_214]

Hi guys,

My ride is a Mit GSR. I just got the suspension refurbished about a year ago (front and rear). Now Every time may lubak ay may naririnig akong lagutok sa harap, probably right-front side. What could be the problem with this? BTW, the shock absorbers in the the front were also replaced at that time.

Hi sir, posible bang sira na yung bushing in just a year?

possible. depende sa dinadaanan mo, your style of driving and the quality of the parts used.

ah, tnx po sa reply. Tsaka tanong ko na rin baka sakaling alam nyo, mas maganda ba kung poly-urethane bushings ang ipakabit ko? Mas mahaba ba ang buhay nito kaysa sa rubber bushings?

Too early na magkaproblema try changing shops baka cheap parts ang ginamit.

PU bushings are more durable, but gives off a rough ride, imho.
one question though, did you use OEMs dun sa last repair mo?

Hi sir, hindi OEM yung ginamit nila. Yung nirereplace lang yung bushing ang ginawa nila.

ok, that may explain it. quality of rubber used or quality of workmanship could not be that good.
nangyari na sa akin yan.... tipid mode, inabot lang ng six months, durog kaagad yung bushing.
since then, been using OEM.... the last time i had my current cars repaired ng bushing is around 2 years na and still doing good.

When you have your tie rods, ball joints and bushings checked and repaired, have your body bolts tightened too.

Thanks guys for your replies, lalo na kay 1D4LV...I'll have the suspensioin parts check in the near future...About the shop, it's a trusted shop naman although siguro nga yung quality ng material used ang nagkaproblema. Now I'm eyeing on the PU bushings na offered ng Cruven. Do you guys have any feedback about their PU bushings and their quality of work + their prices na rin...

TnX again...

actually, yung dinescribe ko dito before sa thread na ito was made by cruven.
prices are usually cheaper, pero hindi significant compared in using oem parts.

NGEEEEK..! Doon ko pa naman balak magpapalit ng PU bushings kung sakaling bushings nga ang problema. So ibig mo bang sabihin eh mas matagal pa rin buhay ng OEM sa PU bushings?

Saktong sakto ito kailangan ko..

I've scheduled my car's maintenance every 3 months kaya eto mag papacheck na ulit kami sa ospital ehhe.

Sakto lang kasi yan ang schedule namin this month.. Bushings, joints and marrows HEHE..

Seriously, I've experienced na rin yung ganyan nagtipid ako dati for a radiator sinabi na ng gmgwa na mag palit na lang kesa i pa hinang ehh makulit ako dahil walang pera kaya ayun pinahinang ko parin.

Kaya naman after ilang weeks lang tagas na at overheat.
Since then, nagpalit ako hindi parin OEM pero Evercool radiator naman ok naman siya hanggang ngayon.
