I'll probably need new abs soon.


I'll probably be selling my few months old ori absorbers soon. smile_big.gif

betul kata maxcobmara.
there is no rear coil spring for ZX.

i agree with comments on difficulties in sourcing for parts. most shops say they don't have ori parts, but have parts made in france, italy etc. hope they are actually made in france, italy etc and not made in kepong.

hey guys,

I managed to change my absorbers last weekend. Labour charge is RM45 for the front and RM25 for the rear.

Ride and handling, sweet!



cyrix,
so apa macam with the new absorbers so far? good? any jarring ride ?

FR a bit.

the new absorbers are slighty softer than the originals (which my mechanic bought me a few years back).

a little bit of body roll during hard cornering but still managed to keep the car on its 4 wheels

no suspension noise going through those trenches across cyberjaya road, but my interior are deteriorating and shaking up badly.

so fast my friends are impressed with the ride and handling of the new absorbers

If parts are hard to find now, imagine how difficult and much more expensive it would be, whether old or new, if they approve the new NAP.

(from the famous motorblog) "...But there are parts of the NAP that have significant negative impact on us as motorists, one of which is the announcement that the import of used parts will be prohibited from June 2011 onwards...."
