hi guys!

just want to share story wat happened to my 2 year old car (viva 1.0 SX MT...mileage 55500 km). i went to the service centre abt 2 months back for servicing and at the same time it was due time for the tyres to be rotated (im using the MyVi tyre size).

after the servicing i felt that ride wasn't as smooth as before (the steering vibrates once it reaches 100) and i felt that the rear tyre (on the driver side) 'lari'. i asked my brother, he told me to go for balancing and allignment. i did that and i went for a drive with the tyre shop guy...he drove to 100 to prove to me that the problem has been solve i.e. steering no more vibrate. however the problem of the 'tayar lari' was still there and on our way back...the so call incident occur but the tyre shop guy couldn't explain to me what had just happened.

so i thot problem solved...meaning can still drive the car. so i've been driving here there (countless times of driving up n down mlk-kl-mlk, mlk-jb-mlk)....i still felt that the steering still vibrates and the 'tayar lari' incident still occurs whenever my car passes those lines that slows down the car once you approach the tol booth...but i ignored those signs.

last 2 weeks, i was on my way to perak (with full load of 4 ppl)...the "tayar lari" incident was so obvious that it can be felt among the back seat passengers. my mum told me to get the car checked next time wen i come back home to jb. so i drove back to jb with that problem still occuring but i choose to ignore it.

Once i reached home on friday morning, i sent my car to the tyre shop nearby my house. i told the tyre shop guy my problem and he drove my car around the area. he told me that it might be the absorber. so he checked underneath the rear tyre area and told me that "absorber sudah pecah, minyak dah masuk" ...watever that meant....all i knew that i had to spend some money on my car ....it cost me RM 190 to change the rear absorber... ....well anything for my safety on the road

Now, i am so careful to avoid potholes on the roads and those uneven roads....at least that's wat my brother told me to do lah to avoid such problems in the future. My question is this:

1) is it normal for ppl to change absorbers?
2) does it get worn out?
3) is it a wear and tear car accessories?
4) wat causes absorbers to pecah?
5) are there ways to avoid such problems?

i decided to post my experience so that i can share with those car illiterate owners like me. hope you guys can shed a light on my experience.

thanks

no comment as it's wear n tear item~
but wen u got vibration prob means not well balance~

Here r more ^_____^v

Added on June 18, 2009, 1:42 pmwe had argued this b4 . the 1k , 5 k , 10k , it means every interval.

your sticker is 25 k , means last time u service ur car at 15k mil, next services is 15k + 10 k = 25 k .

this is what i think it is.

by the way, mine service at 29 , cos last time i services at 19 k.

now mine is 28 k , still got 1 k before services, but i notice that the date(29 May 2009) given to services already past (i should services before June). Is this will cause my warranty void ?

Added on June 18, 2009, 1:48 pmi also had the similar problem, because my car is not balanced from left to right.

driver side seems is lower than passanger side for both fron and behind. i thought it can be claim warranty for the spring or absorber . but after ur case , i think i need to fork out money to chnage it.

but i do not have the 'lari' problem. just the car is not balanced , cos i am too heavy.

190 for absorber ? a pair or single ?

front and behind absrober is the same ?

Added on June 18, 2009, 1:50 pmseems like viva cannot handle load for 4 ppl . can check on viva handbook,, i think i got mentioned the load viva can handle.

do

Added on June 18, 2009, 1:51 pmdo the guy check if your spring got problem also ? or only absorber ?

RM 190 is for a pair of the rear absorber. im not sure if the price is the same or different than the front absorber. u're not the only one who's heavy....im also heavy the driver side does look lowered than the passenger side....im not sure whether it is caused by the load or the absorber lah.

i think the number of passengers is not a problem lah...if the passengers are all small built...it won't be of a problem. medium to big built better to only allow 3 ppl in a car inclusive the driver lah. that's y i figured to share the problem here in the forum so we can exchange ideas n views

Can. Last time my car fit 5 ppl including the driver. One of them is pregnant woman sumore... around 7 months fro KL to MLK then bck KL. Speed around 100... everything fine.

Then another case is 3huge ppl, 2 medium ppl and 1 big 1 small kids. Also can jalan... but almost die... i told tis story before.

how heavy are you ? iam 90++ ..

u can try to check to see if how many cm , or finger between the gap.

mine is about 2 finger difference between left and right , same for both front and behind.

cos i always drive alone. so far i did not encounter any stability issues here but feeling weird to sit inside.

Can you let us know ? Cos i also wanna know if the car if normal to have such condition ,
