Y nowadays heard tht absorbers can be rewrk without replaced?
*
Only if its not leaking oil. If leaking cant do anything d for stock absorbers. Need to replace.
If no leak but just become too soft, they will tebuk lubang, pour out the old oil and put in new oil. Then seal back the hole. If bocor, then need to throw because they cannot change the oil seal also.

Reliable ke?

I have engaged his service for 3x for this.
1st time it lasted 2years+ until i sold the car still ok.
2nd time is the stock front absorber i took out to replace with my tein absorber. Used 1 year+ still good condition. Just that i bought the tein because my front absorbers i cannot find new in malaysia due to the bigger knuckle holes compared to malaysia civic et/et ones. The teins no matter if bocor or rosak also everything can service.
