    I have experience na rin ang dribbling ng wheels, kapag sira na shocks. Pero after replacing it with new ones, lalo na pares, parang di rin nainumbalik yung dampen feel na katulad ng bago ang sasakyan.

    Did you replace with same brand/model of the stock?

    No. Replacement one, KAYABA Brand. Nawala ang dribbling, pero yung umpog sound na " thug" kapag nadaan ka sa mga hiniwa hukay lubak na ginawa ng maynilad, eh dinig at ramdam mo.

    did you know that shock absorbers need to be bled when gas goes into the fluid side? if gas goes into the wrong side, no matter what brand, no matter how new, the shocks never worked right.

    is this process something we ordinary motorists can do?

    for gas charged shock absorbers, release the piston( s/a came in compressed and held with a bale) with the unit upright like the position it will be installed. for non gas charged, compress the unit upside down, extend upright, repeat until the skipping while doing the procedure is eliminated

    Mga brod, im planning to upgrade from the stock Tokiko shock absorbers on my 2008 hilux. What type can you suggest I go for? Gas or Fluid? Thank you in advance!

Fluid or Gas Type?
