shock absorber replacement

[12vdc]

Springs and torsion bars(if equipped) carry the weight of the car, not unless the strut mounting gave in which is very unlikely because connected sya sa control arms or chassis and held by several bolts. If you can crawl underneath, its easy to spot which parts are faulty or needs retirement.

Mga sir, sumasayad sa humps yung mazda 3 ko kapag 3 sakay sa likod. So palitin na po ang shocks neto tama? Do I need to replace also the coil spring?

Sa pagkakaalam ko, kung tama pa din ang tindig ng kotse mo, ok pa coil spring mo. Try mo ugain yung likod ng kotse. Pag bouncy na, palitan anb shock absorber.

sir hindi naman sya bouncy. Pero pag may mga sakay sa likod malapit na sumayad sa fender yung gulong pero di naman lowered. Then kapag my humps nga sumasayad. Pag ako lang sakay or 2 kami hindi naman.

mga Sirs, ganun pala yun, pag umuuga na, dapat nang palitan? yun bang kahit maliit na bata sasakay, uuga uga, dapat na palitan yun?

[saksidriver]

Better visual inspection pa din ng shocks. Pag may tagas na, palitin na.

some cars (like late 90s sentras) are known for bottoming out with heavy rear seat loads.. some cars (like bug-eye civics) have lower bottom clearance than other cars..
i do not know if replacing shocks at the rear, can significantly increase the ride height and minimize bottoming out...
mebbe TS get lifters, or limit rear passenger weight...

and before i consider changing my suspension because the tires rub against the body, i ask myself first... am i using the factory spec tires and rims? is it possible, the previous owner replaced the wheels with larger diameter ones?

The basic function of a shock absorber is to keep the vehicles tires in contact with the road. The shock absorber regulates the movement of the spring ensuring a smooth and more importantly safe ride. Even with new tires and new brakes, unless all shock absorbers are in good working order vehicle safety is compromised because of reduced wheel contact with the road.

With springs but faulty shock absorbers, the vehicle is able to absorb bumps, but the undampened suspension means that the vehicle continues to bounce and causes the tires to leave the road.

Check out this animation video. Top car has no or faulty shock absorber. Bottom car has good shock absorber.

I have a 2000 Corolla GLi that still does the lower animation. Been observing this when taking humps, it would do the 1 bounce, a little overshoot then settle.
However, lately it's been bottoming when I have 5 pax inside, where before it wouldn't. Could it be that the springs has become softer and needs replacement. Odo is 205K Km already. I last changed the struts, shock mount, ball joint, dust covers and lower spring insulator at 120K Km from OEM to KYB Excel G and replacement parts.
There is also noise on the front when it actuates when driving over humps as I drive off in the morning. A few more humps later, wala na. No noise sa rear.
I don't see any leaks on the struts also, but my bump stop/dust covers are already damaged. Palit na rin ng front struts?

I'm thinking to change all the struts, springs, bump stop/dust cover and shock mounts and inspect/replace worn out ball joint, tie rod, rack ends and stab links.

How are the spring rates of the replacement springs compared to stock. Nagdadalawang isip ako baka magiba ang ride height/tayo and ride.

Pinakabit ko e replacement spring s toyota ko medyo matigas sya compared sa stock sa umpisa.sa height e almost the same kung sa harap sa likod e mebbe dko masabi kasi nagpalagay ako ng lifter e.

[trucker111]

guys, anong magandang shock absorber brand for L300FB (front and back)?
monroe ok ba?

Pinalitan ko na yung front struts. Same springs lang pinagamit ko. shock boot din sinabay na.
Patay na nga yung driver side struts. hindi na bumabalik pag kinompress. Yung pass side, bumabalik pa pero mabagal na. Wala namang fluid leaks pareho.

Noticeably improved ang bounce travel nya at hindi na nag nonosedive under braking.
Dati kahit one bounce lang sya, malaki yung down and up motion. Ngayon konti na lang.
Mas stable din sa highway speed.

Mga pap's may naka try na ba sainyo ng titan shock absorber? TIA..

[frost2]

Hi I have 2005 Innova, may leak yung left shocks ko... anu po bang mga murang options ko. i called Cruven 2500 daw and repair nila per shock... i am planning to sell the car pero i want to have it fixed muna before i sell. thanks!

Yung mga gas charged shocks lang ang nag-eextend by itself pag cinompress. Koni shocks for example, don't. Akala ko nung una sira pero ganun pala talaga pag emulsion type non gas charged shock. Most OEM shocks are low pressure gas charged.

Mahal yun, maybe if your shocks are expensive ones like Bilstein, Koni it might be worth it. If you're selling it anyway you could check out KYB, they might be around the same price.
