Can try some lubrication on your shock absorber as temporary counter-measure, until you change to a new set.wink.gif

Just need to jack up the car at all 4 points one-by-one, just like changing tyre.

 

After the tyre had been jacked-up, you should be able to see the shock absorber metal part by shifting the rubber cover slightly to one side.

 

Then just spray the metal sliding part with some lubricant, I used silicon spray, but I think lithium grease spray would do fine as well.

hey dudes,

 

going to change my Nissan 1.5, 4 x shocks soon. Any recommendation? Not going for performance shocks...should I go for KYB (about 270 bucks) or original (about 340)?

 

Is this KYB shock durable? I heard there's gas versus liquid one...which one to go for? Any specific model to recommend for KYB?

kyb is fine. your "original" nissan ones are rebadged kyb's. (just like your over expensive nissan clutches are rebranded exedy ones).

 

If you can get the kyb gas-a-just absorbers go for them. as comfy as the stock ones, but they move less when cornering so theres less body roll. And they cheaper than the AGX's

bro, what does gas adjust mean? does that mean the mechanic fitting it in must know how to adjust the thing?

 

I just called up this HC auto and they say can help me install for $80. any bro got experience in using this WS?
