Wira/Satria under car parts

[jebatdex]

Dear all

I am planning to replace all suspension/tyre related parts (except for spring & absorber), which have bushing, such as lower arm, lower link etc. The problem is, I dont have the knowledge of complete list of what parts that has bushing to estimate the price. Can someone share his knowledge what I can replace. Front and rear should be different right?

1) Lower link/tulang anjing
2) Lower arm
3) others?

Thanks in advance.

ARB link, control arm, steering rack (not sure if that counts)
IIRC the satay bush is the same for front and rear. But only limited to parts that use the satay bush. Do you intend to keep it silicone or go PU?

Why changing all? They are still working fine, right? Myself, old school, so change only if something wrong.....

if really wanna change all undercarriage parts (exclude steering parts)

Front

- 2 set lower arm bushes and ball joint (they do sell bush and ball joint only but mostly now shop sell whole set together with lower arm)
- 2X front stabilizer link
- 2X front anti roll bar bush or a.k.a coffin bush
- 2 set front absorber top mount with rubber
- 2 set front tie rod end,rack end and boots

Rear

- 2 set rear lower arm bush, 1 set consist of 2
- 2 set rear upper control arm with bush
- 2 set rear toe arm with bush
- 2 set rear trailing arm bush (less likely to have problem but should check if wan do one go)
- rear antiroll bar bush a.k.a coffin bush and stabilizer link (mostly only wira 1.5 SE, satria 1.6 and above got ori rear antiroll bar, but do check yours who knows it is there)
- 2 set rear absorber mounting with rubber

all the thing stated above if all replaced... you should have a silent comfort ride already

Aiya, go to Batu Caves area and look for the shop that's the official distributor for Superpro and tell them you want to replace everything and ask for a discount. It'll take about 2 days since some of the bushes need to be machined out.

I'm not entirely sure if OP wants a tank. But that sounds like a good idea. Did you go all Superpro?

That was the very last thing i wanted to do but didn't do yet because I sold the car. I already had some of the bushes and happen to sort of know the distributor boss himself. He gave me a pretty good deal and I was already planning a date. One of the reasons why I delayed the engine mounting replacement.

You just kena poisoned, I am sure you have this on your mind now.......hahhahhahaha

So you mean, they just replace all the bushes without changing the parts itself? Can you share the exact shop location/address?

Just a quick question.

Will replacing all the OE bush with PU bush such as SuperPro, increase the NVH? Coz i read, some say yes and some say NVH stays same. So maybe those sifu with experience can share their feedback.

 

[synail]

Some of the bush need to be press fitted...like the trailing arm n the motor mounts if u don't plan to replace the whole unit

Definitely harsher than stock. You also get more feedback though.

Oh damn. If you didn't sell I'd be hearing on how stiff everything feels.

I had that on my mind. But it's gone.

So I guess this is cheaper (replacing the bushes only rather than the whole unit)? If someone can share the shop address, appreciate it. I think I will go for stock bush.

PU more solid sure to be harsher. Not sure if they can damp the vibration too if they are more solid? But then noise should be better unless your car got many loose stuff already.....hhahhahahah

But it wont be as harsh as getting a new coilovers or sport springs right?

Does it improves the car's response and handling characteristics? Especially turning response. Got noticeable difference?

Of course lah! Coil Overs and sports spring different thing altogether.....:rolleyes:

Well, to me it depends on how bad were the old ones. If equally good then the PU should be slightly better only. Of course if the old bushes are already worn then the difference can be great...

So that means, other than having longer life span, there is no improvement in handling and all if the car is still new (with new OE bush)?

Because the website says improvement in handling and steering response

Definitely an improvement over OEM bushes. Its stiffer for a start. So your feedback will be sharper than OEM bushes. Be careful of noise though.

The rear has so many creaks I have no idea where they come from.
