Terratoss 1st Gear July 19, 2012 Share July 19, 2012 Hi guys, just curious that when you all replace the shocks, you all use back stock shocks or? Usually how many km need to change shocks? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only change 1 time in 10 years car usage, I change mine in the 5th year, the 10th year you will be scrapping liao, so no need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLSAMG88 1st Gear July 23, 2012 Author Share July 23, 2012 But currently my nissan cefiro is 7 yrs old.. dont know if i should change or not or just make do with my current ones until the COE is up. When I send my car for servicing, the mechanic did say my front shocks are leaking slightly already. hm.. dilemma.. I left my shocks alone for one year after the workshop told me my front shocks were leaking...at first, didn't feel much difference...but after a year, every bump was like a hammer hitting my jaw! I just changed mine on Saturday, I can now happily drink my McCafe coffee while driving without worrying about speedhumps! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
