Share Experience on change of Shock Aborber

(1/5) > >>

robtan99:

I have changed the shock abosrber to KYB after 100k mileage.  Never know it is best to change the rubber stopper + mounting cap at the same time.

Now has to pay separate labour for this to be done. 

Note to all fella lations who is changing shock absorber due to wear and tear.  also change rubber stopper + mounting cap if not will create click-tok sound when going over the hump. 

cm2109:
If your mounting is not cracked no need to change then. The cracked line can be seen visible. The rubber stopper you refer to the shock absorber dustcover? if it is broken then have to change together with shock absorber to protect it.

froggiee:
Mounting may not crack at the point when we replace shock absorber. Seem that out latio mounting and absorber up lorry almost the same time?
So I think is good that we replace 2gthe rite? Where can we get the rubber stopper + mounting cap.

robtan99:
acutally rubber is more important.  Our stock absorber is known to be soft.  So when you changed to stiffer KYB due to wear and tear,
it is advisable to change the rubber too. 

My case here is because the existing rubber has cracked which cause the KYB absorber to damage the mounting cap.  I just
changed at autoaid. Damage is around $289. 

-----------------------------------------------------
Cost of rubber from stockist is 38 for one side. Autoaid is 35
Cost of mounting cap from sockist is 55 for one side. Auto aid is 70

Labour is $60.

[/quote how much do you pay for your KYB shock absorber in all? I was quoted for 680sin without labor.
