a year ago i spend almost rm 1500 to replace all the important bushes
at hokomoto(PU blue colour)...
until now no funny sound coming out from my rear or front suspension..and the ride is bit stiffer compare to OEM bushes..

same problem with my EJ6. It sounds more like "kelekuk-kelekuk-kelekuk" when you go on bumps or uneven road surface. Only on the left hand side front. Two weeks back i spent rm670 replacing tie-rod ends, sway bar bush and steering rod.. but the sound is still there.. same old song.. :(

[sleepy]

<_<

 

[superstreet]

the mechanic who replaced the stuff finally blames the absorbers when he couldn't solve the problem.. damn!

 

[zero4]

i think they are a total of 18 bushes, and a total of 24

 

[sleepy]

zero4..
18 wat? 24 wat?

 

[boo2]

i did my so4 at hokomoto. changed all front, rear and suspension bushings.
all together including labour cost me RM 2500. sadly the sound is still there.
but i still havent changed my upper arm yet. i think its because of that.
if i would have known earlier, better just change my upper arm rather than
wasting 2.5k for nothing... :(

 

[sleepy]

fuwaaa... dats alot man. 2.5K n the sound stays!! sorry to hear dat man..
so how la huh?
i think sendin to HONDA is the best la..
to check wats wrong..
at least got guarantee wan..
