What's the difference?

Hmmm..did u put your car in neutral when u idle?

guys anyone got lubang for murah2 lower arm bush?

Just got into the car n start while the gear still in "P" also vibrate.

as for what i know regarding on tinted..
good grade films are from usa..2nd grade films from korea..others i dunno
i dunt really know whats the diff..
for usa grades usually u can see theres a printed says "made in usa" and usually comes with atleast 5years warranty..
to me..for tinteds i'll look for the IR percentage..the highest reflects heat more la..so higher number are better..
so the important is the IR percentage..dun really care wat brand..worth it la to spend a bit more for a higher IR..
60% IR is fine already..like mine..n its from Smart Tint..

There is a loud thud/knocking sound when I u turn (to the right). I think this is a common problem with 05/06 Gen 2. I just ignore the problem but now the sound is getting louder and occur even when I accelerate and turn to the right , when previously I need to make u Turn to simulate the problem. Now I can even feel a jerk in the front left suspension together with the noise. The mechanic have checked the CV and absorber but said that those parts are OK. What else could be causing the noise ? Could it be the absorber mounting ? Any forummers have experienced the problem , can you advise. thks

has ur mechanic checked ur driveshaft...???

does ur suspension spring use rubber like 1" thick at bottom or top of the spring? that rubber might be kaput already making the spring jumps out of place when u steer..

Its not the CV/driveshaft or any of the connecting rods because the mechanic tried to move/shake those paarts but no sound. can the rubber cups/mounting be replaced separately.

Guys, noob question abit...

I think my absorber(?) or spring is getting worn-and-tear already.. 6 years car, and I think prev owner didnt change. Symptoms are lack of balance/floating at mid/high speed (boat like). I haven try the "pump-action" checking on the absorber. I check with the mechanics (1-2 months ago during prev service), and he say no sign of oil leakage, so should be okay to drive.

My question is : if I need to change absorber, do I need to change the spring as well (and vice-versa)? or is these 2 item mutually exclusive?

Another question : Can I change the faulty part only, or it is best advised to change all 4 at the same time?


TQ

if ur absorber is faulty,its adviceable to change all 4...i've change my absorber b4...still using the ori springs...

if absorber kong, and budget summoar:
if front, change both front and vice versa

better diz way:

change all 4 abs and spring since 6years u said previous owner didnt change..

but if spring still ok ok condition, just change the abs lor..

maybe no leakage etc etc but its time to change samtaim u noe..

and for future asking questions;

what abs + spring shud u change?

answer: the best for my setup + family balik kampung car = R3 spring + Sapura ProRide abs (yellow performance one)

not too lowered.. with 15" rims 195/55 = front 2 finger / rear 3 n haf finger

spring + absorber also depends on your load..

btw, my next "hapgred":
led side mirror now, anybody knows cheaper price than LYN automotive garage? including paint and installation

If im not wrong,the LED side mirror c/w pre-paint,just choose which paint is ur car and pasang.

So, I can change the absorbar w/o changing the spring (and vice-versa)?
The "press-and-see-if-the-car-float-like-a-boat" test is to test the absorbar or spring?

TQ

yes u can

I'm renewing my ride insurance, how much the "value" need to be insured?

Make: Gen2 CPS, Manual, H-LINE - age 1 year.

check ABS ka? sure ka ni?
im new too in car world..

I believe the ABS mention above is stand for Absorber,
not Anti-Lock Brake System.

the insurance will calculate it for u if im not mistaken..
