    Nagpa vehicle inspection tests kami. Sabi sa report the stabilizer links are worn out while the Suspension Arm Assembly are lower/worn out too. Hindi ba pwede after 5 years ko na lang iparepair ito? Sobrang mahal kasi. Halos aabutin ng 5,400 for Stabilizer and 21,200 pesos for Suspension Arm Assembly.

    Kakaayos lang ng Drive Belt at ATF Transmission Fluid replacement. Medyo ayaw ko muna gumastos e...

    Any thoughts/opinions?

    errr...
    what car, po?
    off-road use ba 'yan, at mabilis ma-upod?

    and why the magic number of 5 years?

    the stabilizers are to make the car less unwieldy on the roads, what with turns and such.

    the suspension arms...
    are important in steering the car,
    and prevent your car from collapsing onto the road surface.
    biglang bumibigay o kumakalas ang suspension arm, with little or no warning.

    if i had to choose to fix only one, i'd choose the suspension arm first.
    but i really would want to fix both of them already.

    ...casa estimate ba yan?
    bring it to non-casa mekaniko. banawe.
    i am sure, they will be considerably cheaper (50% ?) and much faster.

    tongue-in-cheek,
    "if you're not gonna use the car, it's ok not to have these fixed."
    heh heh.

    Kia Sportage 2014 po, nasa 110,000 mileage na. Ang Rapide ang nagbigay ng suggestion and price. But when I am driving it and making turns mukhang ok naman eh...

    Well Kia Sportage bought last 2014 as bnew, bakit parang ang bilis naman yatang masira, ganito ba ang SUV quality?

    Well nakasulat "Worn-out" na daw ang stabilizer link and Suspension Arm assembly, pero ok naman siya when I'm driving and making a turn...

    What is it about Rapide ba?

    kung normal roads mo lang ginagamit malayong masisira yan at 6 years.
    paano naman nasabi ng rapide na worn out na yung stab link eh meron sleeve ito?
    meron akong friend na more than 200k na ang mileage and 2013 model sya. wala pa naman issue whatsoever.
    pwede bang post mo dito yung stab link assembly para makita namin kung worn out na nga. isama mo na yung mga rubber bushings nya.

    Depending on the car but stabilizer link is just 400 - 800 Php lang po (or if you found a good brand, it should only cost 1k-2k range).
    Then mga 400-600 labor.

    If that's out of warranty, much better if sa labas mo nalang ipapagawa.

    presyong casa yata yan[emoji85] and why wait for 5 years? anong car? warranty?

    try other shops specializing in underchassis repair. no idea sa price but hindi naman ganyan presyuhan. need na i fix yan dahil connected sa steering. iirc, one of may ELF truck dati ay nagkaisyu sa stabilizer, mahigpit mapihit pakanan, sa starman ko pinaayos, naging ok naman.

    normally naman bushings lang nyan ang kailangan palitan...

    not unless sobrang pudpod na yung bushings and sinira nya na yung mount.

    "in the casa, they replace entire assemblies."
    walang tinge-tinge sa casa.
    para raw sigurado't walang back-job.
    heh heh.

Ok lang ba hindi muna ipagawa ang Stabilizer links and Suspension Arm Assembly?
