I thought they normally go to place like Tayaria and ask for absorber test , then they put on a machine , then the machine will vibrate and a result will come out as a reading in percentage..such as 30% left back , 20% right back and 60% left front and 70% right front..Something like this..

u just open out ur damper, take the spring out, compare with the new 1, u can notice that the height & the shape will be huge difren. thats the time for ur old spring send to 'besi buruk' liao... atleast can get a few ringgit back/....:rofl:

yup, u r rite,
this is the most simple way to compare and notice it.

actually springs are not expensive...can change every 100,000km if u want a good ride(together with all under carriage bushing which is quite expensive..whole set bout rm250 to rm300 excluding labor)...it will not spoilt, but it will sagg yr car and hit the undercarriage if with load.....but if u change yr absorber regularly...about 50,000km...shouldn't be any prob lor.

Does anybody know how much do the GAB absorber and TRD absorber cost?
Is it very expensive?
