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.

Hi brother, i my GM6 was about 7 yeas too, feel that daily road drive feel getting more STIFF feel & very bumpy when cross small stone / small bump , (stock absorber & spring)
even i was change new absorber brand KAIFA , bush as well but still not improve of it. obvious when cross the road line ( Yellow line - not event RED line ) like no cushion

tire pressure : 200~ 210 kpi

will you guys feel like this too ? how about the coil spring ? will it getting

otai2 any advice on it ?

vanli auto

Monroe seems to be a better choice. kyb a bit hard.

send to SC, see what's the real problem

change stock spring wont solve the bumpiness problem

alright

just replaced the absorber for my wife's City GM6 last month. KYB brand. Total damage = ~1.2k.

BTW u r asking in the wrong section bruhh

you bought the absorbers from third party or do it at SC?

if bought from third party , that is kinda steep bro

i did it outside.
The price is all included (labor + wheel alignment). From what I surveyed labor cost is about rm75 per absorber. So calculating the cost of absorber + labor + i dun want to wait ; quite ok la. But if u want to really jimat + willing to wait, yeah better buy from shopee (esp during the sales like 7.7 can get cashback coins summore)

where to get genuine monroe?

this

After market one anything below 1K don't buy

1day after warranty expires become leaking

monroe too much fake.

if noob better don touch.

Thanks, i been looking for a proper autoparts shop.

Share how to check

Kek that's not absorbers' issue

Its either your tyres, lower arms or steering rack

Or worst, your drive shaft.

i sent my car to sc for diagnose, coz got some sound when jalan on speed bump, even slow2 also got bunyi.

they dunno whats the exact problem, and just quoted to change lot of farking stuffs for a whooping 5k++
