Honda City 2011 ivtec Suspension Overhaul

[Tanzeel911]

Going for Honda City's front suspension overhaul due to Squeaky noises and rattles (khar khar) on bumps and unpaved roads. Need suggestions on parts to be repaired/replaced. Does shock absorbers need replacement too? No signs of oil leakage on shocks but they are a little bit stiff.

Shocks are inherently stiff on city. Probably you need a steering rack job, new control arm bushes. Unless inspected, its all guessing

There's no play in Steering Nauman bhai. Aur turn kerty huay bhi koi awaz nai ati.. bas khadon mein ya cat eyes py se car guzray tau kharkay, dharkay ki awazain ati hain... Aur subha jub car thandi hoti hai aur speed bump se guzaro tau lower arms ke bushes squeak (Chu chu) kerty hain bht zyada is liye I'm going for a complete suspension overhaul. Sparkplugs bhi sath hi change kerwa lu ga aaj.

Got Suspension overhauled today in which the Small Bushes of Lower Arms were replaced. Kharadiya Pressed the Z-Links and Ball Joints and Steering Assembly. It costed me 10,500Rs. Squeaky Noises were gone but Darr Darr noise was still coming and mechanic told me the Front Shocks are nearly dead so I bought Genuine Honda Front Shocks for 25,500 PKR and got them installed. Wheel Alignment was done afterwards for 500Rs. Now the suspension noises are gone and ride quality is significantly improved along with the Ride Height aka Ground Clearance.
