Do any of you have any ws in Spore to recommend replacing the absorber (labour only)?

 

Cheers

Just to share some info.

 

4 x Original Honda shock, top mount, mount bearing, rubber stopper = $500 ish from stockist.

Labour plus alignment in JB = RM180

 

Total $570+- for a complete shock replacement.

 

Ride is now so much more comfortable.

 

 

Any WS at JB to recommend?

 

Safe and good? How is the procedure? Go in, tell them what you want, discuss the pricing, leave the car and go for makan?

I went to Hawk Tyre at Southern City.

Came in ask for quote, leave the car and then walk around. Came back few hours later with car completed.

The place has Giant in the same building can do your shopping also.

 

Hope it helps.

It is advisable to do a alignment when you changed the absorber.

I am not so sure about the individual pricing but I would assume it would cost between 100-130 rm.

I just called up autosaver to check about replacing my '06 toyota rush absorber (pricing to replace all 4 absorber), they quoted me 1500. Sounds reasonable or knife sharp sharp?

 

what do you guys think?

You can call stockist to check price. 1500 definitely cutthroat. Labour to install 1 absorber in SG ard 40. Bolehland RM120/pair.

Hi all, i am a 1st time car-owner n just bought a 2nd hand Mazda 2, left with 2 years to scrap. I went into JB Hup Heng Ang to change my tyres n to get my car checked.

 

I was told that the shock absorbers r gone n it will cost me about rm1.6k to replace all 4. (Rm760 for front, rm600 for rear and rm200 for labour.) I do hear a 'thump' everytime i go past a hump

 

Is it a decent price or a rip-off? Or i will have better luck with a local garage? Alternatively can i source for a used shock absorber?

 

Regards

Noob.

Car 6 mth left. Starting to ride like a boat. Think only the back absorbers are gone. What do you guys recommend?

1) Get recon absorbers & hope it last 6 mth? 2) Buy from scrap yard and pray? 3) Buy new and fix in JB? How much for the labor only?

Anyway, car is Tucson, anybody close t scrap and want to sell parts?

Bought spare part from stockist for Vios 06. Spare part $75/pc for front absorbers.

 

Was charged RM 100 with labour and alignment in Hawk Tyre Taman Pelangi, all done within 1 hour.

 

Went to a workshop to ask for the same service and was quoted S$140.

 

Parts purchased from Minghee.

seeking opinion

 

done the TC “Shock Absorber campaign package“(all 4 sides) at 90km

found rear passenger side shock absorber (1 pc) leaking at 140km

3 more years before end of COE. Planning to drive till min 9th year

 

- Should just change the rear pair? (outside WS, OEM, $300/-)

- Go for TC package again (all 4 sides) $650/-)

What will you do?

Prob go for TC package, OEM ones doesnt last as long and also depends how u drive. IF not buy from stockist and bring to workshop of ur choice to change.

 

3 years is still long.... This is my 2 cents worth :grin:
