Shock Absorber concern! palitan na or pwede hindi pa muna?

[mido_ban]

Hi Guys, Jazz 2nd owner po...I notice yesterday my rear shock absorber (passenger side) had a small wet spot,parang nag leak sya kc d sya dating ganun. plan ko sana dalhin sa CASA para ipa check kung need na palitan shocks or normal lang na magkaroon ng wet spot sa shock absorber because as you can see sa "rear driver side" pics. medyo may wet spot na din yung shocks ng "rear driver side" ko and 2 yrs na syang ganyan. Maraming ng PMS ang dumaan and walang naman report ang Service Advisor ko na may problem ung "rear driver side" shock absorber ko, so i'm assuming ok lang as is muna syang ganyan at antayin ko nalang ang next PMS w/c is sa March2013 pa or papalitan ko na kagad yung both rear shock absorber ngayon habang under warranty pa sya. medyo nag worry lang ako nung sinilip ko ung shocks ng katabi kong honda city 2009 sa parking sa condo walang wet spot.hehe! try ko din e test yung ride by pushing down hard at tignan ko mag bounce ng up and down, ok nman sya! ano po ba ang normal itsura dapat ng shock absorber? ung totally walang wet spot around ng shocks? Need Your advice..Thanks! btw Aug2010 model po sa akin.

Did you touch it to conclude na fluid leak? From the picture, I assume na naka jack yng car. The clean black portion might be the part that is inside the housing kaya di gaano marumi

[mido_ban]

Yes sir, i touched it and oil po sya. Hindi po naka jack ung car, as is lang po ung car nung kinuhanan ko ng pics. ngayon lang po nagkaroon ng wet spot sa rear passenger side ng shocks ko. dati po kc dry and covered w/ little dirt. what do u think? leak na po ba sya?

Kung more than 50,000 kms na tagal ng shock palitan na doon na rin punta nyan.

If under warranty, better let the casa check it for you.

If it is oil, better have it replacd. If it is still under warranty, ipawaranty mo na lang.

Come to think of it, yung shocks ng 2yearold jazz ng cousin ko pinalitan ng honda spa under warranty. Rear din right side. Baka known defect ito

Kung lagi kang loaded palitin na yan sir pero kung di naman wag na muna.
Yung Civic ko dati 2 years pa lang pinapapalitan na ng casa pero di ko pinalitan.
Umabot pa sya ng 7 years di ko pa rin pinalitan. Wala naman naging problema.

Kung under pa ng warranty ipa-warranty mo na lang.

Ganun ba Sir..kami lang po ng wife ko ang palaging sakay. 2yrs palang din po ung Jazz ko. Iniisip ko po kc next PMS ko nalang ipapa ayos w/c is sa Mar2013 para sabay sabay na. worried lang ako kung delikado bang mag byahe ng may leak ang shocks. ngayon pa mag christmas na po maraming lakad at byahe sa province para mamasko. hehe! salamat sa binigay nyong experience sa civic nyo. wala naman din po kc pagbabago sa ride ko and d naman po bouncy. nagkataon lang na ngayon ko lng napansin na may konting leak. hehe. tnx!

*mido_ban - Check your tires. If you have uneven or excessive tire wear on the rear, you need to replace those broken shocks. Tires take the brunt of your suspension if your shocks are failing already.

Thank you for the advice Sir. I'll check my tires later.
