[gothculture]

Hi sifus!

My uncle once mentioned to me that his wira already change shox twice at 150k mileage and i havent changed once and mine is already at 158k mileage.

Abt 2 days ago while layan corner near connaught my car seemed to bounce during cornering. Is that signs of dead shox?

hope to get some feedback here =)

Yes~ a bouncy ride is a probable sign of dead shoxs. but just to be sure...
When stationary go to all for corners of your car and give it a firm push down right above the wheel arches. If the car bounces up and down more than twice that means your shoxs are shot~ Dont wait till it reaches the bump stops~ then your engine mountings will be next to kaput.
