Finally, someone who replied
thx sifu catacombss
Anyway, i only got to know about this when my mech jacked the car up to uninstall the gearbox..
Apparently it is installed the other way around, inverted,terbalik..
I'm not trying to make enemies/flame/target or what but..
The front and rear mounting has been changed around 8~10 march, i could'nt remember the actual date..
It was done by one of the forummer,
cheeann for a price of RM180 include labour.
Weird thing is, i accidentally saw the bill(he brought me to the sparepart shop and he went n buy it) and it was stated 2 items, one around RM30+ and the other one RM50+ , i assume its RM30+ for the front and RM50+ for the rear.. when he saw me look at the bill ,he said that "u cannot see one this..etcetc.." (i'm guessing he resell it to me?and with a profit of almost 2 times the price?)
Honestly i don't remember that much but he was kinda like trying to change the topic
Then when asked around some mechanic shops , they said the most they charge is until RM120 to change both mountings.. honestly, i was shocked! I dunno la how good is the so claimed "better and stronger mountings" by cheeann but if u bought it at that price and sell it to me to earn 2 times the profit, while keep telling me things like "i charge ppl lower.. i dun overcharge my customer etc etc".. and even installed it the wrong way.. u seriously have some attitude problem.
Same goes to me speedometer , bought at the shop for RM145 and sell it to me infront of the shop for RM170?telling me that u have to earn also, etc etc..as a forummer, as a friend, as a fellow LYNian.. why don't u just bring me to the shop and let me buy there?
I don't have the receipt to prove it, so its up to u guys whether to believe or not. Yes, finally..i have learnt my lesson.. just when i thought that i found my good mech.. i got chopped instead , good learning experience i suppose? To cheeann, please don't go around offering help when u don't know what u are doing.. u have did it on me, i was stupid to put my 100% on u believing that i've found my mech to do my regular car maintenance. So please stop trying to cheat other people's money
Anyway, enuff about the long talk..my mech said he'll reinstall the mountings for me altogether with my gearbox
Actually is normal that we need to mark up the price for profit.. This is normal for mechanic outside. If we don't earn profit, then how we gonna earn money? Mechanic also need pay.. Same like what I done.
Mounting have many type. Some can offer Rm120, some can offer RM180, some can offer RM90 for front and back engine mounting. I had a customer which bought and installed both mounting only RM80.. One month later, it spoiled. Actually there is no better or stronger mounting except for ORIGINAL PROTON PART or MITSUBISHI MOUNTING which from japan. Original Local Proton mounting already cost RM145 for the front and RM156 for the back. And Mitsubishi cost around RM200++ for each mounting. I don't feel logic at all that outsider claimed that some part are even better that original part. Unless you are upgrading for stuff like those performance brand.
Actually is very sensitive on this matter.. Let me make it in simple way. Let said you are the mechanic while mostly some of the customer is your friend.. If all part we didn't earn profit, how we gonna to survive? We are not opening a kerja amal workshop.. We need earn and we need to see boss 'face' to survive..

The following picture shows a front mounting of a proton saga, is the mounting installed correctly?
[attachmentid=922725]
This is wrong.. I wonder how many people know the mounting it have marking? The hole at side of the mounting is the marking. That hole should be in front..
That mounting installed terbalik ma... Furthermore, the way tightening the mounting also very important..
