Suspension and shock absorber
« on: November 08, 2010, 08:56:03 PM »
Hi all fellow lation, i am a new car owner and just want to check with all of you if there is anyway to know the condition of the shock absorber. What i am meaning is the sound made when going over hump or height of the suspension. Noticed my rear suspension is make a "thump" sound when going over hump unless i bring it to a complete stop and roll over at a super low speed. I also noticed recently my rear looks more lowered then before and the gap between the tyre and wheel arch for my rear is really close. Thanks all for your advised.  :confused1:

no more warranty with tan chong. so am reluctant to go back. the checking cost will be high.
