ok.. for supersturt(SS) problem.. i prefer to do it by myself esspecially buka n pasang .. i try to minimize the hammer on it.. used some special tool to open it....cus ketuk can damaged the joint then later knok knok sound will start from there also ...

basically.. for my info... buka gearbox no need open the lower arm out ( at A B C) i think..problem only when u ned to buka the driveshaft out.....correct me if i wrong... thanks ...

procedure when changing absorber ... cus i just did on 2 days ago myself... spend me 2 hours on it modifying the spring .. damn....


Buka the screw at joint D (unpin it and use 22 size spanar) to buka( here u need minor hammering unless u got tat special special tols la )i dunhav then i hav carefully

... then use rotary gun to open tat 3 screws (2 screw n 1 nut size 17 socket) just beside the joint E & F... then spanar size 19 to open the nut on tat upper arm ball joint and use special tools to seperate this ball joint on the top of the knuckle there which connected to abs....

then ur knuckle n abs will seperate .. then u can easily remove the driveshaft .. then ur gb can buka liaw.. but ur mech sure @#$%^&*()*&^%$#@$% when dealing with this SS again.. cus is very ma fan work....tat y i prefer do it myself ,.,

haha

below got attach some pic for reference like special tools ....

thanks


SS kaki all the best....goodluck

[katopunk]

wong sifoo, thanks for the advice~!

regarding the part number 43350/43360 (in the picture) koyak rubber that i asked in my last post. how to repair it exactly? change the rubber? :confused_smile: how much ah?

if the rubber putus leh? :retarded: will the knuckle drop from the absorber? ahahahaha. still got lower arm to support. :_:

part number is 43350 and 43360. how much ah?

 

[KHWONG]

me not sifu... tipu got la .......learning about Ss only..

that rubber use to protect ball joint to prevent water n dust or sand goes inside the ball joint n damaged it.. after long time.. it will become rusty n start to kong lo tat ball joint...

remedy:..

1) buy new ball joint come with the rubber .. each cost u 200... it 1 pc RM200 man.. crazy meh.... not worth la .. haha... better find stock chop shop abs to replace it... haha

2) find an equivalent rubber cover . equivalent means the size almost same.. then ask ur mech to modi it.....hahah

3) swapping abs with me lo.. my abs rubber still in very god condition.. but mine is non adjustable woh..ahahahhahahaha.. kidding onlyla

if rubber putus.. ur knuckle wont drop off 1.... this rubber use to protect no connect .. hahhaha

good luck to u bro..fast get it repair pls..

SS kaki good luck again./...dun giv up SS ,,, hahah

WAKAKAAKAKAKAKA. bloody khwong

settings on your abs .. 1=softest .. 4=hardest

to remove your GB .. need to lower/remove your X member to access some of the screws bolting your GB to your block .. this is the easiest and most cost effective way.. unless u wanna take out the engine with the GB attached together out the top ..

to remove driveshaft alone no need to remove X member ..

 

[n0th1n]

looks like your is setting 4. because of the white dot is not there. eh, all abs dont have the white dot ka? btw, setting 1 and 4 can easily differentiate. try at bumpers and the hardness level can be detected.

attached is photo from a friend

[katopunk]

ceo, thanks for the advice. actually i cannot find the white dot also. check check... the white dot is covered with grease ady.. yeap. initial setting was 4. which is damn hard to my liking. changed to 3 now. better.

 

[n0th1n]

hehehhe.. 4 damn hard. yerp.
im not sure, because many friend said cusco tein is hard. trd not hard. i just wonder, have they tried hardest for trd or not.

 

[KHWONG]

i hope to get 1 TRD adjustable for my SS also bo budget..

sad...

 

[normality78]

Tein im using it now. Hm.. its hard but not i reckon not as hard as Trd. I sat on few TRD before, really hard. I felt my tein more comfort.

 

[normality78]

khwong, your offer to that TRD way too low la.

 

[KHWONG]

bro.. ur fren TRD too high for me la .. haha.. nevermind.. i got time to search again.. hahah.. pocket lubang now la

 

[katopunk]

my car got sound. errmm... normally kena when moving from stationary. the sound is "tak". the "tak" sound only one time nia. izit the sound comes from the strut?

but when cornering tat time, i haven't notice any sound.

 

[KHWONG]
