doraemon69sg 1st Gear June 7, 2017 Share June 7, 2017 Hi,i recently replaced all 4 shock absorbers with a Singapore brand which cost me $340 including labour.front $95 x2, rear $50 x 2,labour $50 for a 2006 Sylphy. 3 weeks forward, pretty decent performance, comparable to previous KYB Excel G which I paid $700 plus .. Bro, please share the workshop's details, thanks in advance! My workshop quoted $805 just for 2 front shock absorbers for my 2008 KIA Cerato V2. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biting 1st Gear June 25, 2017 Share June 25, 2017 (edited) For Hyundai absorber Mando brand $75 Original Mounting $39 Original stopper $15 Labour was $40 per wheel. Difficult to diy as mine need a spring compressor tool. I called up a workshop in toh Guan and one in aljunied. Both quoted about the same price for labour only.

Fcw75 Hypersonic July 6, 2017 Share July 6, 2017 Front shock absorbers need to change together with stopper, mounting and bearing. How abt rear shock absorbers? Anything else to change? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pray that can last!just change mounting.........i did before. You dont change there will be tick tock sound when going over humps and your tyres will wear out unevenly even for a few month of driving. Not ex....mine is made in malaysia car...the mounting cost less than 100sgd after rate conversion at proton workshop. Not sure how much for kia though!

Lala81 Hypersonic July 6, 2017 Share July 6, 2017 I bought these when changing front shock absorbers. Workshop said best to change together. IMG_7823.JPG mine from the stockist also recommended to get the rubber thingy but it was all in a box. I didn't see the item itself. My father just passed to mechanic to gao tim. just change mounting.........i did before.

Not ex....mine is made in malaysia car...the mounting cost less than 100sgd after rate conversion at proton workshop. Not sure how much for kia though! those are small points. But with shock absorbers that aren't working well, your tyres may be lagging behind in contact with the ground surface to maximise contact during braking on less than ideal surfaces. U will be really penny wise pound foolish to ignore this fact. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U will be really penny wise pound foolish to ignore this fact. the suspension was checked by proton mechanics....they even took out the suspension and springs to check for leaks. They found none but found the mounting damaged. They told me my suspension was okay.....just need to change the mounting.......been 3 yrs oredy since i changed them and my tyres are wearing down evenly.Ps. Need to change in pairs. I changed the front pairs! I bought these when changing front shock absorbers. Workshop said best to change together. IMG_7823.JPG SG workshop sure say change together.....thats how they survive!

I changed the front pairs! i changed all 4 but i traded in the car like 1 year + later. So not so hua lol. But the labour cost for changing 2 vs 4 in SG is not much. It's easier to detect the shock absorber failed cos it will be leaking fluid which the mechanics can see easily. The rubber things, usually get chui after sometime, so the mechanics/stockists will rec to change at the same time. cos labour cost to take out again is the same.
