Parts/items information required:-
1) CV joints (outer) along with reliable rubber boots for the joints.

2) Suspension- front struts. I personally want to go for new ones. any input regarding this ? Or can these be repaired or kabuli option ?
Does any local company make suspension/struts. I heard that some company named Agri Auto makes these ? Is it true ? any one tried their products ?

3) Steering column - the rack and pinion box i mean. I tried a repaired one and it lasted only 7 months Is there a New one available. how much would it cost ? does Pak suzuki sell this item as well ?

(4) complete Clutch system + flywheel.

I also want this information.

I have replaced cv joints multiple times. it never lasts more than 5-6 months.

btw in shafeeq mor you may get good kabli part which are cheap. A complete set of both axles from Pak suzuki costs 90000+ !!

No need to go for kabli parts. Use new chinese parts and they last long. Chinese outers comes from 1 quality till 100...go for number one chinese which comes with warranty. Original japani boots are abundantly available. Go to waterpump and Quality autos there. They are reliable and tried and tested. Buy stuff from them and dont go on saying of a suspension wala that use my used saman it is this good and that good. This works only when the suspension wala is too authentic.

I am planning on changing my Alto suspension because it bounces a lot and the steering wheel clunks a lot. Can any of you guess give me a rough estimate on how much would it cost?

[abid110]

All under 10k

In the same boat. I need some serious reliable mechanic in dha/clifton area to solve my axle n suspension related issues. Most of the mechanics r not worth the time. And asks for a lot of budget, all fake items
Kindly share any reliable mechanic in these areas.

An update, i asked around axle prices form plaza area. Chinese outer axle are 2000-3000 rs range. Japanese so called outer axle are in 6000-8000 range. Mind you that in DHA area the prices for same was 4500 and 10000 rs. however I only asked one shop for these.

I asked suzuki motors on korangi road karachi and they preferred/used the Japanese axle 10000Rs. dont know why but maybe it was better quality than the 4500Rs one. They said that they approx charged something like 1000 to 1500 rs as labour charge. The 10,000 rs axle (outers) has no warranty but the 4500 rs axle has 3 to 6 months warranty.

If you want to really spoil your budget but make your suzuki alto feel like princess then Suzuki also offered completely genuine axle set (inner,axle rod and outer) for approx 45000rs for right side and 47000 rs for left side.

If you can come to fb area I can help as I have helped so many other pakwheelers in suspension issues

[abid110]

Buy made in Japan original NKN brand new outer CV joints for complete peace of mind. Just keep eye on boots that they should not leak. Repair current inner axles as they work decades
