lunchtime,

I haven't paid Desmond a visit yet, if I have the opportunity, I will. I really want to fix the problem I am facing, its annoying as hell.

In my opinion, the bushes, absorbers & springs are not the cause of the harsh ride.
I am saying this because immediately after the foaming, the ride feels significantly harsher.
Absorbers and bushes are parts that degrade gradually over a long period of time. It does not go from good to bad overnight, or in a week's time. No, it does not.

Even if replaced with new bush or absorber, there are chances that the ride could be slightly improved, but I believe that it will still be worse than before foaming.

I am really hoping that something can be done to fix this harsh ride, or at least reduce it at a noticeable amount, without having to cost more money.
Unfortunately, I do not have time to go to KL in these few months.
I know its not anyone's fault that I don't have time to go there,...but just feel the need to let it out and grumble..

Anyway I did mention before that I have a 2006 Toyota Vios that has Track package AutoFoam in it, it was done in year 2009 November. Until year 2010 June, I switch my car to Toyota Corolla Altis.

To be honest, once I step into Corolla Altis, yes it is really comfort, bigger car space than Vios. But when I take corner or go over yellow speed breaker, that "feel" in Altis can't beat my Vios with AutoFoam. That Vios is now with my parent since I got my Altis. Until last few days I took the Vios out for driving, and try to feel the harsh, noise and vibration. Immediately I can sense the car is more tighten and less flex. About harshness, yes I can feel the harsh because the absorber and spring already been running for 112,000km. Front using Dunlop tyre and rear using Falken Ziex 912. I can say the tyre is already need to be replaced because of the thread is nearly to the end.

I believe after change a new set of stock absorber and new set of tyre, it could be better. May I know cuckoo bird, what package of AutoFoam that you install in the past and your car mileage?

For mine, I'm also a Penang driver and the vehicle is seriously become tighter. I don't know why, maybe some people cannot take the vehicle that has stiff chassis?

agreed, but things like chassis foaming, you cant really undo right ? its not like putting in those ultra racing bars front and back, and then finding the ride is too stiff, and then deciding to go back and remove it.
and even if the fella says can undo.. would kl-auto refund his money ? its not like kl-auto can reuse the foam.. right ?

in cases like this where its clear cut the product brought a negative impact  and after careful thought, he comes to a conclusion that nothing much can be done to improve it.. and out of despair, he shares it here. at least now , for those who were not aware, they are now aware that if and when they foam the car, they should also expect this behaviour. if the potential client is aware of the pros and cons, it would also be less headache to the seller rite ?

also. if in the case of the tesco engine oil being fake, at least, other forumers who knows it's not fake can actually call his bluff right... so it works both ways...right?
