Corolla GLi suspension issue

[usman202]

Last time i checked Toyota Dealership was selling front shocks for 24k a pair.
In market KYB were for 17k (complete) and Agriauto for 15k

I suppose best bet is to opt for dealership shock maybe they stock same Agriauto shocks supplied to Indus factory.

Op needs to change spring coils of his car too.

changing to KYB, does it lower the height? Are KYB ones at international height standards?

I didn't feel any difference in height. Yes they're on international standards and of very high quality. I got them through partscentral: https://www.facebook.com/PartsCentralPK/

They are having it in stock or they imported it for you? mind sharing the price please

[haseeb.basharat]

They had them in stock.
2 years back front one were for 18000
1 year back rear one were for 12000

I got the suspension checked. Steering rack has issues. Could that be the reason?

[aziz.rehan]

U can fix it by replacing the rack ends if it has issues. 555 company suspension parts such as ball joint,rack ends is of good quality

[aneesrehman97]

But would that solve the actual problem that I'm currently facing?

[aziz.rehan]

U need to see if the rack ends have play in them.If yes u need to replace them.If not then it's something else.Also check the tie rods,ball joint,control arm bushings and shock mounts.They r easy to check.Also get the steering cross checked.It basically connects ur steering wheel and steering rack together.

For coil change, is it if I change to kyb? Or just generally to eliminate the kind of jolts tha car has now?

mazay ki baat yay hai,

Atlas Engineering (allwin) manufactured the cylinder and piston. BUT they cannot Sell directly in Market.

they were bound to supply ALL the stock to Atlas Honda. both OEM standard and the Market Stuff.

it was Atlas Honda that then sold the market stuff in market as spare parts..

If I plan to change front shocks, which option would be best?

Kyb from partscentral
Shocks from showroom
?

[haseeb.basharat]

Go for oem ones only.

[pwuser166961000982]

Struts and shocks from kyb, balljoints from 555, bushes from RBI.
What company do you prefer for z links, top end mounts, tie rods and CV joints ?

[pwuser166961000982]

Im changing shocks for my corolla. What is your experience with kyb after a year ? Do you still recommend them ?

[haseeb.basharat]

balljoints from 555,

Don't change ball joints they will last a whole life of your car. Only get oem One if you really need to change them.

What company do you prefer for z links, top end mounts, tie rods and CV joints ?

For stabilizing links (z links), control arm bushes and balance rod bushes I opted for RBI which lasts an easy 50k kms with a beating.
For hydraulic mount go for oem only, for rubber type mounts RBI or nippon.
Tie rods: 555
Outer and inner CV joints of NKN JAPAN.

Im changing shocks for my corolla. What is your experience with kyb after a year ? Do you still recommend them ?

Yes I still have KYB and they're driven about the same point where oem leaked. Still working flawlessly, but I would recommend that fit kyb at front, change shock mount with rbi or nippon if its bad. If it's fine then don't fiddle with it.
Fit agriauto at rear if you want a softer ride, but if you want a grippy ride with some stiffness then fit KYB at back.

Actually Im changing ball joints because my front tyres were showing camber tyre wear on the inside and minimum wear on the outside even though I make sure they are properly inflated,allinged and balanced.
So I rotated the front tyres for the back ones and after a few months they are startee to show signs of camber tyre wear on the inside. After googling it said the main cause of this type of wear is weakened ball joints. What do you think ?

[pwuser166961000982]

If kyb shocks are not available then what shocks would you recommed for equal ride height of standard corolla.

Also where can you buy oem parts ?

Nope. Not a ball joint. You have a bent shock. That's common in agriauto. Mine also had a bad camber and they leaked afterwards.
Inspect ball joints thoroughly once you're changing other parts, if it's torn then you may change.
It won't need a changing before 200k kms.

I purchase all major and minor parts from partscentral: https://www.facebook.com/PartsCentralPK/?mibextid=ZbWKwL

Kyb must be available with them.
