Suspension/ride

^^
yep, i noticed the acceleration also pati sa pag turn. ang ayoko lang talga is yung tagtag. i already reduced mine to 30psi and nabawasan na yung tagtag..

I tried several times to balance comfort and FC, 32psi works for me. Sakto ung comfort and hindi nasacrifice ung FC..

How about sa tibay? Sino na sa inyo nasiraan ng shock absorber? Last year nagpapalit ako ng shock absorber sa right hand sa likod. This year sira na naman. At mukhang dalawang shock absorber ko ang sira sa likod. Hayy. sana maclaim sa warranty ulit.

Based on my experience, matibay naman ang shock absorbers. I actually fill the GL up to 2nd row when loading groceries for our store and personal needs and di sumasayad sa humps na malalaki sa amin and the bump stoppers actually do their work in ensuring the suspension play is kept within acceptable limits. As a matter of principle, if you were to replace a suspension component, it should be in pairs. I think the left hand side suspension was about to break when the new one was installed. The new suspension had to work harder and likewise prematurely break in the process. If your car is still covered by warranty, better claim it for both shock absorbers.

Iyon din ang sabi ko sa SA dapat pares ang palit. Ang tigas kasi ng ulo. Isa lang pinalitan.

Thanks sir for the input.

@Emm21, road conditions and lagi ba puno likod mo? parang unusual naman na lagi ka nasisiraan ng shocks..

No problem. I hope your issue is rectified soon.

Yun nga ang masakit pres. Most of the time wala akong karga sa likod. Maingat din ako magmaneho as evidenced ng tires ko pantay pantay ang kain. Maganda rin kalsada sa Isabela. Tingin ko factory defect talaga.

gas ba o fluid ang shocks natin?

@Emm21, mukhang masakit nga talga sir...

I would suggest that a visual inspection of a leak be made and a picture posted in the forum to verify if it indeed gas or fluid. If there is fluid leak somewhere, then it is the obvious but in the absence of fluid, it would be most probably gas type.

Sir,

Na mentioned sa akin ng taga NMPI na fluid yun sa shock absorber natin after i asked them to check yung un-ussual un even elavation ng livina..

Fluid sir. Napapalitan ko na kasabay ng 40k pms. Same SA ang nagasikaso sa akin. Ang dahilan pala kaya isa lang pinalitan nila last time kasi di nila maclaclaim sa NMPI yung isa dahil wala naman leak.
Pero dapat daw talaga pares ang palit. Ok na ulit si GL di na umaalon pag minaneho. Ngayon dalawa na napalitan.

i see, mas ok kaya kung gas?

Mas ok daw ang fluids in terms of ride quality. Mas matigas daw pag gas. Maganda daw gas shocks pag sa mga pick up kaya gas ang sa navarra. Puro "daw" kasi as per SA he he.

Apart from the stock shocks that we have for Livina, are there any recommended brands or types out there? Perhaps the others have experiences using after-market brands for their GLs.
