September 28th, 2020 10:00 PM #1I'm thinking of replacing the majority of my car's suspension because the noises are starting to get worrying.
I've had bad experiences with "suspension specialists" before. So this time I plan to buy the parts myself from an auto supply.
Problem is, i'm not 100% sure what the parts are called, and how much of each part i need, so i'm looking for guidance.
Here's what I know so far for the front end of the car (1997 honda civic vti automatic):
- Upper Control Arm
- Lower Control Arm
- CV Joint
- Axle boots
- Tie Rod
- Rack End
- Stab Link
- Coil Spring
- Shock Absorber
Please, correct me if i'm wrong or missing something here.
If you can also tell me the rear suspension part names, please do!
Thanks guys!

Ikaw ba ang gagawa? or gagawin ng mechanic sa house mo?
You can also do it the old fashioned way
Kalasin yung parts then dahin mo sa auto-supply ("boss, meron kayo nito?")

I didn't recommend that as he mentioned that he had a bad experience with a "specialist" before.
Pero when I was younger, we changed bushings and shocks of our cars on the 10th year
(I've read from SG, Thai and MY sites that they try to have theirs changed on the 5th year)
So basically, kalas then bring all the old parts you need sa trusted auto-supply and my favorite question... "meron kayo nito?"
One can only hope.
Cheaper brands than Motolite but reliable as well
