Hi sifu,

Need to replace my 7 years old Honda city absorber (GM6)
Should I stick to Honda Genuine parts? Or third party? Any recommendations?

Lastly, how much 4 pcs will cost including labour?

Thanks.

3rd party la... cheaper and probably better

monroe, kyb, sachs, take your pick

Mine 8 years also haven’t change.
What’s the symptoms of your absorber?

Why need to change? Leaking? Car bouncy when pressed down and released?

No.

Replace with new car.

Change to coil over.. Adjustable high low soft hard

Original Honda also use 3rd Party...not sure the brand..just use OEM if prefer the original ride....if not get other brands...lowered satu jari definately will got perbezaan when u drive.

Maybe TS would get more informed opinions by inquiring at the Honda City Owner's Club?

Mana can get sachs?

Steering vibrate when driving on uneven road.

Roughly how much to change full set?

more on lower arm issue than absorber.

go spare part shop and ask la. See what they carry and recommend, then research if its a good product or not.

Also ask your mechanic what they recommend and cost as well.
Sometimes better to go with mechanic product unless you know them well, as they will blame you bring faulty product, etc later if got problem arise. They provide warranty on the product they install and supply. They might know what product is more reliable, etc and not what the spare part shop sells.

/k mechanic expert

use APM performax. Cheap and thick.

whom told you that steering vibration during uneven is related to absorber? Anyway if absorber is out/kong d? just chang whole set la.. including all the arms/bushes.. it's time to go anyway.

U can try reiber auto. They will refurbish ur absorber and can reset the stiffness to ur liking. U can check out their tik tok account. Have a few video for Honda City

should be slightly over RM1k..

just checked GM6 absorber a set of 4 RM640, bushes give / take RM60 front and back, arm, link rods.. them upah RM280 siap pasang.
