tt time i drove to LK and told them nicely that i suspect my suspension got prob...so they say can check for me...then ask me whether i got do regular servicing wif them or not...i say not so freq...then they say if i don do servicing wif them, the warranty is actually void... so wat shd i do now then??go try PG there??haha.. Hi, i also have the same problem with you but mine is at the right side. going over hump also got the kong sound. Outside workshop also says that i have suspension problem. So PG can do it or check if it's really the problem? Mine 3 yrs plus. Warranty also no more....

hmm...since ur car already more than 3yrs le, then u might as well go outside workshop and do. Depending if you intend to go for aftermarket or stock ones... I'll probably try to get it fixed FOC at PG, if still cant get it free then probably fix an aftermarket one...this sat i going batu pahat to see if its cheaper to fix there or not...

Since original is the cause then most probably getting OEM.. Heard our original is a bit branded but why like that? If after market one, how much will it probably be?? Pls advice...

One of our Carens bro 'Alienduck' had previously posted his 'damage' report... attach here for your ref... Quote: OK, damage report.....
Call a few authorize KIA parts supplier, bad news no stock.... Manage to get 1pc from Min Ghee damage $95.00 without gst. Fortunately its for the damage suspension.
Anyway have it fix next door.... damage RM65.00 + RM25.00 for wheel alignment.
Sorry the RM65.00 included service charge for changing the ATF filter. Since original is the cause then most probably getting OEM.. Heard our original is a bit branded but why like that? If after market one, how much will it probably be?? Pls advice...

Depending if you intend to go for aftermarket or stock ones... I'll probably try to get it fixed FOC at PG, if still cant get it free then probably fix an aftermarket one...this sat i going batu pahat to see if its cheaper to fix there or not...

hehe...spent whole day there manz...went to the shop that my fren recommended..was quoted RM2400 before trade-in, then RM1800 with trade-in(given that my tyres going to botak le, the trade-in price quite high wor..) but only 1 rim caught my eyes. Tyres is 205/50/16, Eagle F1. Decided to go ard to look at more rims, saw serveral rims that i liked but don hav the tyres i like and their quote for rims already RM1800 liaoz..haha..then i went to this shop, mostly sell continental tyres, offered RM1800 for rims n yoko A-drive tyres including trade-in. But i still end up at the first shop, i asked if RM1600 can or not. They calculate le finally say OK and proceed to change. Damage as follow: 1. Taiwan Rim + Eagle F1(205/50/16) : RM1600 2. Centre Cap(need to fit cos rims not fitting to the holder, so will shake at high-speed) : RM90 3. Nuts(Original Nuts too big, cant fit in) : RM45 Total : RM1735. The tyres are gd..hahaha..but on the way back cant drive too fast..need warm-up the tyres...but cornering is alot better thou tyres is harder than stock.
