QUOTE(speedy3210 @ Jul 23 2025, 12:43 PM) Not sure why you're attracted to this kind of product with Jap name. Better check if they are the manufacturer or they get their product from someone else and just slap on marketing effort (hence the Jap name). Why not try local manufacturers with their own factory? Brands like Denco, Lokco Zenwa (ZW) etc. put up effort to have their own factory and manufacture products by themselves. IMO these deserve a better/higher chance/consideration from consumers. Personally using both Lokco (lower control arms, front and rear) and Denco (engine mountings) on my Wira and they are solid products, especially the lower control arms (significantly heavier than cheap OEM units but same weight as outgoing genuine P1 arms) Thanks you for replying and the giving your opinions of lower arm brands and the quality. Do you have any recommended link to buy genuine lokco denco lower arm and engine mounting? Ayam are new to this. AMB i have come across claimed they are the manufacter local mly brand with muteki brand. This post has been edited by Zhik: Jul 23 2025, 09:00 PM

I have just ask the uncle mechanic. Installation labour fee for 1. rear suspensions 1set rm100. 2. lower arms rm100++ 3. Engine mounting rm100++
He has no machine so aligment has to be done at elsewhere. Consider good price? Ayam tot of changing the rear suspension myself. My mechanic boss agree with me that chaging rear suspension is very easy.

QUOTE(BL98 @ Jul 23 2025, 08:42 PM) just buy the bushing. Mechanic can use hydraulic press to press out the old bushing and put in the new one. Car will feel brand new. I am aware of this too. What is the damage? Mcm both side change rm300-400.

QUOTE(speedy3210 @ Jul 23 2025, 09:01 PM) you mentioned on 1st post that your car still have sound. What sound is that coz sometimes it wasn't suspension sound. also where did it come from, front or rear? It may well be brake caliper sound but you go change the entire suspension in hope to solve something it is not and waste money in doing so. The car age 11 year old. Ya, the sound is from front, when crossing the bump and also uneven bump. The steering inclined to one side that time due to broken suspension bush. I tot i have changed whole set front suspension for the 1st time. The mechanic dint changed the lower arm previously. Brake caliper? No la, i just done the inspection and testing when i changed the brake oil myself recently.

QUOTE(guest54321 @ Jul 24 2025, 02:03 PM) I suggest you bring your car to a workshop with a suspension tester. Just like your case, I changed the whole front suspension but the creaking sound is still there. Yet to fix it. Where to find those noise check mechanic?
