Since we're on Myvi suspension discussion here - can I ask how long does Myvi front absorber mountings last? Mine don't seem to last long and mine is completely stock. Every damn year it breaks. Is that normal?

I thought you always hang around your mechanic's place when you service your car, then you should have seen how they take the absorber apart....:driver:
So far I haven't seen him doing much on suspension related work. Only seen before once where he replaces the rear absorber from a Saga knight aeroback.

I've changed mine to Alza's bearing absorber mounting for almost a year, so far so good. It costs me around RM140 (pair) with installation. I won't go back to original or other OEM myvi rubber mounting, it's suck!

PS: After you've change to Alza's bearing mounting, the car height is slightly higher and you will feel firmer ride during cornering (this is for sure!).

Just like my ex wira, got cheapo, OEM proton and Mitsu ones......:driver:
Nowadays finding Mitsubishi parts to fit Wira seems hard at Ipoh. I wonder if it is still easy at KL to source Mitsubishi parts for Lancer/Mirage to fit Wira?

Firmer is fine but higher? Hmm... I might try this. But 1+ years is how long my abs mount lasted. And bearing mounting? I'm referring to absorber top mount

Yes. The ride somehow higher after installed. Yes, it's bearing type absorber top mounting. The rubber type is going to loosen after 3months installed. You can take it out and you will notice it's loosen 1, longgar here and there (no firm at all) and causes the ride floating during corner or high speed.

I've uploaded the image of rubber and bearing type. Hope this help you.

eh exactly. Myvi uses the rubber type. So the Alza one is the bearing type? Looks like an option. Will look into this thanks!

The rubber ones will have bearings too, right? If not, how does it turn?

While driving, electronic parts already showing the power loss. Everything on and off because of loss of power. Things getting worst and the car start jerking and the RPM meter unstable. My home is not that far away so I push the car a little bit, working hard to reach home. I felt the car and engine working very hard when I press the pedal. Suddenly there is a sound like a blow up (like a fire with blow up sound) in the exhaust, everytime I push the pedal. Once I reach home, the engine is...
