Need help - Shock Absorbers

[Yuan]

happened twice.. haha. usually talk and forget about the humps.

 

once at ecp, once at hume.

 

ECP got humps meh?

[Kspchew]

Anyone knows what is the price of Latio front shock absorbers? Fong Tat quoted $200 for one shock absorber while JAE quoted $155 for one. I always thought shock absorbers should come in pairs

Any bros have any cheaper alternatives??

 

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply. Both Fong Tat and JAE are nissan stockists, can't imagine the price TCM will quote. BTW, what is kyb??

Thanks

KYB=OEM for most Jap cars including Nissan.

[Kspchew]

Thank to those who had replied and give their suggestions /leads.

Finally, I was quoted $90 /shocks for kyb, as compared to the orignial nissan stockist of $155 and $200.

Thanks again

Sorry, I am not too sure of the model. I simlpy ask for the replacement shock absorber for nissan Latio. But only available in Sept'09 as they are out of stock

[Kspchew]

yea of course. ecp service road quite a few humps and strips?

 

Yah, especially the hump near the IR towards Tuas. Can feel that the entire car "jump" if I go over it at 90km/h

[Kianbeng]

When you mentioned original nissan stockist, do you mean TC? Or outside shops? If outside shops, the same item should be priced so differently if they are the same thing.

[Kspchew]

of course outside ones. TC will cut and slice u up

[Kianbeng]

Then...most likely it's different brands you are comparing. can't be same brand and price disparity so high?

 

Btw, I realised that for Nissan cars, many of the spare parts (or at least for Cefiro) cannot be found outside. ie last time I tried to help my uncle find

 

1) Catalyst converter

2) Wheel hub (cos can't change bearing only)

 

Checked Fong Tat and 1 other (can't remember), all said don't have. Need to go TC. Or maybe wheelhub can find but end up same price as TC. $400 for 1 piece. Damn expensive man....

[Zippaboy]

I juz change the rear absorbers on my 5yrs old plus G9 also from Tokico. Not expensive and ideal for family car.

 

After the change, ride is better and no more nonsense sounds.

 

 

from where?

 

how much?

need to do alignment right?

 

thanks.

Yes, it was stated in my earlier post, KYB vs Original Nissan shocks.

 

BTW, do u own a CNG merc?? cos you share the same nick as in the CNG forumn

[Kianbeng]

ya understand. But sometimes the original nissan absorbers could well be OEM KYB or Tokico or .....anyway great to hear you found lobang in the end.

 

Ya I believe it's the same person....but I seldom go that forum liao....lazy.
