If your ride like a boat especially on uneven , bumpy road or after full loaded = possible damper or suspension require replacement.

Is this your first car ?

what if it feel too 'soft' already... like don't want to 'bounce back'?
*
soft coz your seat's sponge softer or insufficient tires pressure ? If don't want bounce back usually will be bumpy ride.

I installed spring buffer front and back. I actually forgot I did until they took them out ystd for my front. The front is not softer. The back is still not as hard as I would want when my wife sits at the back (when I go through bump).
*
simple. Remote buffer and remote the spring. It will be hard indeed very hard biggrin.gif

With 45 profile tires, you can't expert too stiff else it will be like sitting in a track car....

Spring buffer is just a gimmick making you believe that your entire suspension system will become better....all the down force and rebounce rate majority from your absorber not so much on spring.

Hi all Sifus,

I'm on dilemma now.

1. Since warranty approved and i gonna get new compressor, rather then next few years i have to fork out 3400 for new compressor but additional 460 for compressor hose at the moment.

2. Afraid that after changing the AC compressor alot problem will start appear.. you know la...  ohmy.gif
If possible, i try record the sound for you guys.
Not too sure whether inside video could hear the sound
*
Just let to warranty handle everything for you. There is nothing to be 'worry' alot and dilemma. Fact is fact...if wanna happen, good thing is you still have warranty cover for more of the parts....

Sharing the sound here just extra effort for sharing and some sifu already can nail down the possible defect area....so just go SC get it fix asap while warranty validity is still there....

If it is bearing problem ,it this still cover under warranty ? If not how much the cost for replacing it ?
I like the car, but not the sound really noisy . Thank you

BUT...he need to pay RM460 for the uncovered hose.
if issue come back...rugi la dah bayar 460.....no point also even thou get new compressor which maybe the condition is as good as current one.

actually....he concern bout this one la i think... sweat.gif
*
Uncover warranty = change in SC or outside also the same...'safe' side is if he claim compressor + pay Rm460 ANYTHING happen after that or surrounding part, SC will take responsibility....

tayar mkn inside is bcoz of u didn't rotate ur tyres...
stock nut kangkang a bit around -0.8 for both left n right... so need to always rotate tyres...
chamber nut is flexible... mine set at -0.2 only... so far nvr makan tyres coz not kangkang so much...

trust me, even u use stock nut & nvr rotate ur tyres, it's still makan inside...
if u lazy to rotate, use chamber nut and FORCE shop to set chamber to 0.0...
rotate the tyre? i dont get u bro. If i want to change my bush, which shop is suggested?
*
rotate tires mean swap your left to right or front to rear so all four tires will be 'even'...chamber nut is one of the MAIN income for most tires shop on 'add-on'

Guys,

My forte 1.6 SX is nearing 2 years. Just wanna check whether I should continue going to Kia Service Centre or can just go to those third party service centre.

Any pros and cons if not going to the authorized centres?

Thanks alot for your feedback.
