Hi folks,
Just to share.. For those who want to replace their absorbers with original items, please insist on the following part number:
Front Left: PW825586
Front Right: PW825587
Rear Left&Right: PW825589
Price at Proton Service Centre: Front RM175/each, Rear 101/each
Price at Proton Parts Centre: Front RM160/each, Rear 85/each
Maybe can get cheaper at Spare Parts shop, but be sure of the Part Number as stated above. Some people just cincai give you Waja or Gen2 absorbers which are not the same! It may fit Persona but the damping rate is different.
At the same time, you can check for Genuine parts as example here:
http://www.autoworld.com.my/v2/news/nb_det...d=RT.ATC.CAR.FSGenuine parts should have Light Blue Labels WITHOUT the 'Made in Malaysia Nike' logo.
The original absorbers should last around 80k-100k km of use.. like my case the absorbers started to feel soft at 80k, but I extended the change at 90k. At this mileage the absorbers still ok, but the damping and handling feel haywire. [
