QUOTE(eniltoh @ Apr 5 2019, 03:38 PM) When I first got my avanza, the rear absorbers were performax so I am unsure if during that time what condition it was. Saved up enough to change to Greber which were much thicker compared to the performax. The feeling it gives me was that it was more planted as I drove it out of the workshop in Kepong. Loved that feeling  As such, I am not sure how a new performax absorber would perform since I have no such experience and hope you can share with us here once you have it installed. Alternatively, there are shops that help you to change the oil inside your shock absorbers. I have tried it on my Axia but because it was so light at the back, it was uncomfortable. I ended up having to buy another pair of original Axia absorbers. This might also work for Avanza but will be through trial and error or need advice from the workshop itself. I checked back a past post and noticed that I have typed the brand name wrongly because everytime I search for Greber, it seem to come out as red colour absorbers whereby mine is yellow. Last I noticed my shock absorbers are called Gabriel after checking further and confirmed the sticker location on the yellow absorber with the link below. Sorry ladies and gentlemen for the confusion all these while. https://shopee.com.my/-1-Pcs-Gabriel-Caston...2771.5933341144Bought from zhapalang motorsports in Kepong last time |

QUOTE(zeng @ Apr 1 2021, 06:41 PM) Did you try the Gabriel for front set and if so, any additional improvement ? Gonna to give stiffer Gabriel a try when time comes. No I didn't coz the last time only complained about the rear. Front already put Titan some time back. My old bones can only live with the softest setting of Titans up front. Any harder for me will be like riding a go kart  . The boss also said any softer than the softest...better go back to OEM shocks  This post has been edited by eniltoh: Apr 2 2021, 09:14 AM |

This is Gabriel shock absorber. It measures 22" fully extended and 1 7/8" wide on the absorber (not the top cover). Fully extended and fully compressed same with APM performax. Not sure about other absorber although the APM performax is thinner and softer.   update. just visited turbineman page https://turbinemanlog.blogspot.com/2014/08/...about-rear.htmlFrom his website I conclude the diameter of the gabriel (yellow shock absorber) almost / the same as KYB Ultra from Indonesia. The RS Ultra locally made mentioned is not so big in diameter compared to the KYB Ultra from Indonesia FYI  This post has been edited by eniltoh: Sep 15 2021, 11:12 AM |

QUOTE(andylau3 @ Nov 25 2021, 01:01 PM) It seem like lack of stopping power, rotor very fast wear out, average 60,000 - 80,000KM, brambo pad, previous 2nd set rotor, drill and slotted, changing my 3rd set rotor to solid disc. Maybe I drive like uncle because I am uncle. Mine 11 years and 100kkm+ later I think I changed the pads before but rotors not yet. but I do feel the rotors seem a bit warpped nowadays. Rear pads got change before. Maybe ask the spare part shop why your rotor makan so fast. Maybe the pads not suitable. |

QUOTE(butthead76 @ Dec 29 2021, 08:38 AM) hhahah...bloody "clok" "clok" sounds is back....not as bad only....now I really given up, no idea where is the source....only when I steering and drive over uneven road..... only thing left is the absorber, which is close to 50k km usage.... Does it clok clok all the way until road turns back even? If yes, try to check your brake calipers for any play. Last time my first gen myvi after a few months need to grease the caliper pins to fill in the gaps between the pins and the caliper to dampen it. |

QUOTE(Confession @ Jun 3 2022, 12:14 PM) guys, any idea why the aircond is not cold when the car not moving (just blowing air). but when it starts to move, the aircond function as normal. is your problem resolved? One of the few factors I can think of is last time I encountered this in my other car was because my aircond fan koyak already so no heat exchange was done when standstill. With the car moving, circulation was passing through the fins in front of car hence car was cooler. If your car is overheating, the ac won't be cold also but I don't think this is the case. |

QUOTE(butthead76 @ Jun 13 2022, 07:31 AM) Every 60k km typically need to service AC and change cabin filter. If compressor ko straight no more cooling. 1st gen Avanza don't have cabin filter back then. |
