Today I went to change tyres @ Ara Damansara. The mechanic say my absorber got leak oil already and some other related parts spoil. So they recommend me to change these stuffs.

Below is the quotation:
Absorber Cover 2 pcs     - RM50.00
Absorber Mounting 2 pcs - RM56.00
Absorber FRT 2 pcs         - RM410.00
Absorber RR 2 pcs          - RM290.00
Absorber Bush 2 pcs       - RM56.00
Lower Arm 2pcs              - RM460.00

Does this price reasonable?
My Saga is bought on 2008. Now 40k km.
*
abs leak oil need to change that much?
change the mounting is ok already everytime u change abs
but u can choose not change as well...your choice...mine didn't
the other part not so easy spoil one
yours is 2008.....mine also...i think time to change but thn yours is still 40k
do u feel your abs very hard?

and what kind of abs did the sell to u?
RM410 just for front?
mine RM410 for all 4 + installation(abit over RM410 overall)

better ask him all the details....and i dn't think need to change so much parts
oh...and did u ask which abs leak oil
as far as i know the rear always spoil 1st which mean only need to change the rear only

search around automotive garage la...all within or around 400 for all 4
all reputable brand
mine is sapura
even if u want to use APM performax/KYB..the OEM ones...all also around RM400 for all 4
that one quoted RM410 just for front...it better be a very good brand

I am not familiar with car stuff. So I am not sure how many stuffs need to change for this problem.
When goes through hump or driving, I feel it is same as when I bought the car.

The mechanic show me one of the front and one of the back that leak oil. But I did not check the other side.
They also show me the uneven tyre surface on my car.

I just give them a call. The lady that pick up say all are original parts (yuan zhuang) for saga. She also mention the lower arm got crack, so need change.  rclxub.gif
Will drop by on Monday and get a quotation from them.
*
i still dn't think need to change so much part at 1st
and i really suspect the brand of the ABS
even its original part...it has a BRAND as well...the box doesn't say original parts(probably dnt want to tell u cuz want to mark up,scare u know)
the original parts if u go proton stockist ask...they will give u a brand "KYB"....all 4 also around RM400 only
where got front RM410
i advice u go other shop and ask for 2nd opinion

and ya...tyre uneven is the alignment problem..its not the absorber
everytime u change your abs...u sure will have to do alignment

You can get slightly cheaper at outside proton parts dealer.
All this not easy to worn out at 40,000km. If 80,000km are still acceptable.

his price is actually from outside workshop
even proton itself won't charge so much and somemore recommend change so many part
surely con
mine 75k...not 1 of those has been changed be4

Sry noob ayam here..
From the first post. What the meaning for "pros" and cons" ?
I maybe will buy Proton Saga FLX.. But dunno choose which kind is better.
Executive 1.6L AT (normal Auto transmission ?)
Executive CVT (ni wa tak tau bagus tak)

Which type engine less problem, easy take care, fast pick up and speed? I dun mind when shift gear have feeling the "shift-jerk" between gears.
*
executive CVT and 1.6FLX SE are both using CVT

and which type engine less problem...all using same engine la
if u service it accordingly...will not have any problem

fast pickup and speed....take the 1.6L FLX SE

Wanna ask har... the 1.6CVT max speed berapa? Can go 190 like gen2?
*
1.3L CVT meter max is 200KM/H...max speed REACHED is 185KM/H
1.6L FLX SE meter max is 240KM/H.... theoretically it would go over 200KM/H

Hoho, then you are absolutely wrong this time...

Recommended way for tyre is:

1. If got budget, change all 4 together,
2. else, swap the old rear to front and rear use new tyre...

Why?

because if your front slippery, what happened during jam brake/oversteer is just locked tyre and kiss barrier/front car,
if rear is suck, once the back end start to give up, you will just feel hopeless, because nothing you can do to control your back end neither by brake or steering.

So the outcome could be non-stop spinning on road and torn by the lorry follow behind, or just spin and hit tree beside, just wanna tell the outcome is unpredictable...

Try google for this information...most of the driver mislook this point.

ic
mine...i 1st change the rear tyre 1st becuz no thread already..not the front 1st
front is only changed like 2-3 months later
front tyres are better than rear tyres...rear tyres use back the ori tyre brand
front tyre using conti
