Good Afternoon Monty owners who had experienced leaks on their shock absorbers, i was cleaning our Monty last week, and i noticed upon cleaning yun portion ng shocks/ coil spring on the Front / Right side of the car, may leak ng oil. is this common issue sa Monty?
The next day, lucky it was Saturday, i immediately went sa nearest Mitsu dealer, and inquire about this. SA told me, they will check .
After several hours. SA advised they will replace the shock absorber at no cost ( was happy they have parts available for it).
I only used our Monty weekend/ once a week ( office /home). not sure what caused that oil leak on the shock absorber?
Looks like you must always check for oil leaks on your MOnty's shock absorber, once in a while, mine is 8 month old
TIA.......

Sure Sir, will try to take a photo on the area(nasa loob kasi) , if there is a leak on the shock absorber, di mo ma-noticed , kung hindi mo kakapain or hahawakan yun portion ng shocks/ at based ng coil spring, try to touch lang Sir yun portion ng inside ng coil spring at ska yun shocks. pag may leak, magkakaroon ng oil ang kamay mo Sir, at kung walang leak, malinis yun portion na yun, just some dust , etc.

Siguro nga sir, kasi 8 months pa lang Sir MOnty ko, for the last 8 months, ako nag lilinis, everytime nag lilinis ako, nakakapa ko kasi yun sa may coil spring at shock, but only last week ko lang napansin yun leak , so malamang mahina / defective yun shocks ( based sa invoice, shocks cost 2k plus PHP, free naman labor at parts, kasi under warranty)
Just wanted to share my experience, kasi kung di mo talaga kakapain or hahawakan yun shocks/ coil spring area, di mo papansin na may leak.
Good thing, na-noticed it kaagad, kaya dinala ko na kakaagad sa Mitsu dealer, happy naman at napalitan kaagad. Kasi iniisip ko kung di mo mapapansin yun leak, at with everyday use, with the weather sa atin, rain, baha,na dinadaanan natin, yun area will be soaked with water at dumi, matatakpan yun leaked na oil, at baka di mo na ma-notice na leaked na pala shocks. Better to check it once in a while, lalo na pag under warranty pa Monty

July 23rd, 2014 07:21 PM #1247Happened to me within a year of owning our Monty 2011 MY. But the reason for that was I ended up taking a rough road at a higher speed that I should have or just hit a nasty bump at a high speed.
But they also honored the warranty. I wouldn't call it a defect but maybe something similar might have happened in your case since the shocks weren't leaking before .
For now, I'm still using the replacement shocks. Comfort wise I see no change really and I always request them to tighten suspension every 5k pms check. No leaks found as well til now almost 3 years after the change as I was more careful in driving the car on national roads. =)

July 23rd, 2014 08:10 PM #1249Sir, may napapansin ba kayong unusual sound sa monty nyo nung may defective shocks kayo. Been hearing a "kalansing" - parang bell na tunog everytime na nalulubak. Wala naman ako nakakikitang leak, pero baka kelangan kong kapain. Pinatighten at greasing ko yung pang-ilalim ko last PMS pero ganun pa rin eh. Any comment on that?

July 23rd, 2014 09:24 PM #1250Have you checked your tools compartment?
When you mentioned kalansing iniisip ko yung butterfly nut na naglock sa jack in place. Dati kasi nalimutan nung driver namin ibalik ng mabuti yung jack with the nut kaya ayun, nawala sa loob ng body yung nut.
It might be as simple as that but it might not be.
Regarding naging issue ko when the shocks were "failing", medyo pansin yung road imperfections even when I deflated the tires to 30 front, 34 rear. Standard pressure ko kasi is 32 front 36 rear which medyo maenchance niya yung feel sa road dahil mas matigas yung gulong. Pero once the shocks start to fail, medyo mas ramdam mo yung road imperfections talaga which is not normal.Kaya ko naman pinacheck agad suspension ko when that happened.
sinabi moh! i hardly see my children now. when they were young, schedules were more predictable.
