Haiz... my mechanic told me about my cracked suspension mounting. didn realise until now.. told me gonna cost over 900 to replace all 4 even more sad. Is it necessary to replace all 4, or just the damaged one will do? Any kind bros got any suggestions, alternatives or good workshop that can replace them for cheaper price?

900 bucks? Can change mechai already.
Bro, just go to ming ghee to buy the front pair, $80 to $90 i think.
Then go to a workshop to install. Not so sure about rear though as i do not see any rubber at the rear.
Replace as a pair for the front. Rear other bros can help you out.
I replaced my front at a workshop(a pair) at $140 only.
$900 you can get those aftermarket mounting with camber adjustment already...$400 to $500...still got change....

I change is because my suspension system got knocking and squeky sound.
After changing, problem solve, partly because my suspension system is aftermarket.
Not sure what other effect, alignment change??

that rubber is to dampened the shock when the shock absorber is compressed during bumps...not a big issue except for a more pronounced cabin noise and vibration when going over bumps for those worn out.
