QUOTE(yngwie @ Jul 25 2011, 07:38 PM) 1. proton sp3 ori cost around 20 bucks per liter. you need around 4.5 liter or so. 2. proton original wiper arm cost around 70 bucks. labour cost not included. 3. skimming x4 disc cost around 120 bucks. not advisable to skim more than twice. rough ride could be caused by a worn out lower arm bushes / spring and hardened absorber. worn out arm bushes gives a boat like ride. absorber link does not contribute much to bad ride. but it may affect the handling and also, causing a squeaking noise. |

QUOTE(tjroy @ Jul 27 2011, 10:25 AM) tyres/tires plays a big role on cars roughness and comfortableness, it maybe brand new but the tyres pattern, compound affects the ride. like what yngwie said, the other old, wear out parts also affects. maybe its time to consider autofoam the chassis. sorry i cant help diagnose leh, as i also had brake caliper pin problem if u have read through my post, its solved and reduced the level of roughness too. i wana change the old wear out parts as never change for 8 yrs ad!!which 1 should start from??i heard dog bone, lower arm and link..which 1 to change 1st...and the estimated price for each parts? |

QUOTE(yngwie @ Jul 27 2011, 07:24 PM) brewoe_1988@ Bro just change front? Rear no need ar?where u get the price?any workshop to recommend?as i suggested earlier, you may need to pool your budget and change em at once to cut on alignment cost. start with the front parts replacement. here is a rough estimation ; sachs / monroe absorber around 250 bucks for both new lower arm with bushes around 200 for both front (good quality) absorber link around 100 for both (good quality) absorber mounting (if your old ones is already worn out) around 100 bucks for both front labour cost roughfly around 100 bucks. alignment / balancing maybe cost around 68 or so. total damage(estimate) = around 850 or so with hidden cost on rubber cover / protector. but after a rear suspension / arb bushes change, you car will feel like new! in my case, it was even better than a new car |

QUOTE(yngwie @ Jul 29 2011, 07:50 AM) estimate price according to market price sometime early of this year. Im ard Kota damansara and ss2 area...I dun mind travel abit far if the workshop is good and cheap...Must change absorber for all 4?as I just change last year man.... if you want to change front and rear altogether, it will cost around 2k or so. and you will only saved about 38 bucks or so on re-alignment cost. here is an estimate breakdown for the rear ; 2x2 = 4pcs suspension link( short and long) - 100 bucks x2 = 200 rear absorber x rubber protector - 180x2 = 360 rear suspension arm - 1xx bucks x 2 = 2xx rear arb linkage x 2 - 65x2 = 130 labour around 150 bucks or so. and since you're working on suspension changes, why not change the arb bushes in a go? check with elton for a good arb pu bushes for more 'responsive handling feel. i don't know which area you're staying, how could i recommend a workshop? 200 bucks is an estimate price for both side. its not an original proton but will last for another 5 years or so. good thing you get rid of the noisy sound when driving over those thick yellow lines. i don't suggest changing the bushes alone on old lower arm. those worn out arm bearing can't be swapped. new proton ori cost in the region of 2xx bucks for a pair. not sure if there is a different between abs and non-abs thou.
