AOA
Bro do you have the mobile number of that electrician from whom you got your wiring work done

[Vaqas1]

No brother I am not that anari driver & been to kalam many times as I use to visit there almost every year.In 2012 went there on Mehran, in 2014 on vitz, in 2016 on city 14, in 2017 on vitz again, and now in 2018 on this corolla. So ab itna to experience ho chuka hai. Eik eik pahaar yaad ho chuka hai ab Never faced any shock leakage issue during all these visits except this time.At first, the rear shock got leaked after that front one got leaked.

Used shocks are like this. I have installed so many of these used ones and they all somehow didnt perform to my expectation. Found a guy who was remaking these and you could ask him how soft or hard you want them. I opted for soft ride and my ex Corolla had a very soft suspension (Not goog for cornering though).

You already got KYB they are good for soft ride. Original Indus ones are little hard. See if you like KYB some people complain of them being too soft.

Not only Swat side, also went to Shogran & Kaghan,Naran till babusar top last september in 2017, and then again in 2018 during the start of season before Ramadan.
And yes I am also thinking about GB till khunjerab pass, never been there.

Wa Alaikum Assalaam ...
Masha Allah, Glad to know that you got good results. And yeah these mileage figures are great for an A/T car.
I bought the complete set for 17500.

Yeah sure, his name is Sadeeq & his ustad's name is Zahid.
Basically Zahid ustad is Afghani & these days he is in Afghanistan & will come back soon after getting a visa to Pakistan.

[humayun.chughtai.7]

Yup The shop wala also gave me option of Indus & KYB shocks. I prefered KYB bcz softer ride was my preference. And the price difference between both was only 2k.
He also told me that Indus one's are slightly stiffer. I hope I will not feel the cornering issue with these as well.

[humayun.chughtai.7]

@Vaqas1 BTW whats the expected life of these new KYB shocks ? If driven carefully.
Any idea ?

[humayun.chughtai.7]

On the way back, got the tank filled up to the brim & poured this injector cleaner as well. Dont know about any improvements, bcz abba g drove the car as I got some knee injury . But I noticed an unusual drop in fuel efficiency. It gave 12 kmpl only . Khair, driving style also matters.
He use to drive with heavy foot while I am kind of hyper-miller driver.

Ignore the dusty dashboard

Price for front shocks

[humayun.chughtai.7]

9k

[humayun.chughtai.7]

Our corolla is getting bath today & going to be in Sleep mode for next 8 to 10 days, Insha Allah !

[humayun.chughtai.7]

Fighting with rust ... With in rear wheel wells

[humayun.chughtai.7]

The rust area is all filled up with bondo (putene)

So we are replacing the complete footboard of left side along with golaeee !

[humayun.chughtai.7]

Work done with in the right side wheel well. Next we need to get that sillicone wala paint job in this area to avoid rust.

[humayun.chughtai.7]

Replaced half footboard from right side bcz the other was totally fine.

[shoaib657]

Very common in Indus corolla
Lekin paint job se Pehle ho jata to acha tha,

[chbilalnasar]

They should b replaced before paint job?have u replaced the front screen gola?

[humayun.chughtai.7]

Han bilkul ... Bs pehlay mjhy idea nhi thi k ye haal hoga !
Dair aya, durust aya !

[humayun.chughtai.7]

Yeah true ... And yes we replaced that thing along with the wind screen.

[chbilalnasar]

Before replacing screen rust in small spots should b removed...
