    Will update you guys on this matter as soon as the operation is finished (kakaba-kaba) .

    I did not expect the coil springs of the two variants are different . . Hmmm

    AFAIK the coil spring installed on all the variants are the same......hhhmmmm.....something fishy is going on.....

    well, I could be wrong though....maybe somebody could confirm this?

    just to correct matters lang sir noh... negative ang mga stradas ng coil springs, we use leaf springs... hehehehehehe

    as for the same part number among all the variants, pwede naman, pero i think the left side leaf spring is stiffer than the right side because of teh stupid fact that our fuel tanks were placed on the left side....

    I talked to my Service Advisor once again and he told me that the coil springs in the front will be replaced if the leaf springs at the back will not compensate for the uneven height (tama ba english ko?) and I told him that my old leaf springs have the silencer installed already, so I told him that make sure that the silencer kit be installed already on the new leaf springs . . para isang trabaho na lang (<--mahirap i-english eh)!


    Para akong tatay na naghihintay sa new baby

    Nag-commute ako ulit last night grabeh ang hirap na pala mag public transport ngayun nowadays! Rode an FX last night 45 mins. to 1 hour waiting sa pila in front of Megamall diretso Novaliches, grabeh 2 hours na para kang nasa can of sardines, ang hina ng aircon, di mo gusto amoy ng katabi mo, tapos gusto ko na mag wee-wee di maka wee-wee!

    Kung mahal mo talaga isang bagay gagawin mo lahat! :missing: sabi ko sa sarili ko pag uwi kahit anu pa mang imperfections ng strada mamahalin ko na ito (iba pa rin comfort ng sarili mo na car)!

    Pag hindi daw na compensate ng pag palit ng leaf springs sa likod. Dahil pati sa harap tabingi po!

    yup sir arvs.....aware naman ako.....hehe.....I was referring to the front pala....Coil Overs nga pala dapat....medyo nalilito nako hehe....so yung spring na nandun sa front ang tawag dun is COIL OVER SPRING? tama ba sir?

    for that tank issue...napag usapan namin din ni bigblock yan....baka nga kasi daw nagkatamaran ng magdesign yung mga engineers for the LHD market...

    kasi kung susumahin natin yung yung tanke + yung driver tapos full tank ka pa so almost all the of the weight is nasa left side na kapag mag isa ka lang bumabyahe, unlike pag RHD yung tank lang....so IMO the stress will really accumulate to the leaf springs and the left coil overs pag dito satin.......but none the less.....inde naman totally evident....pwera nalang kung tabingi yung garahe at my factory flaw talga

    hmm, that's a good angle. Pwede kaya ilipat ang fuel tank sa right side?

    Madali lang yan.... For one work only. O di ba, ang saya, hehehe. Parang "For one way only", meaning, ... para isang daan na lang, hehehe. Sori ha, pagtyagaan nyo na muna pagka corny ko, hehehe.

    Wise po ba na huwag na akong mag pa sevice sa MMC para sa 3month old ko na STRADA? main reason is that it cost too much compared sa mechanic ng father ko...

    depends on your priority sir kimospeed... if you prefer savings over warranty, then go to your trusted mechanic... peace of mind ang premium na binabayaran kung sa dealer ka magpaservice (pero minsan palpak din hehehe) since yung warranty mo will be intact. but kung talagang magaling and trusted yung mechanic mo, the savings that you'll get will be a big difference (almost 50%) sa budget mo...
