Dear Fellows... I am using honda city idsi 2005 since 4 years. Its drive was excellent but since 2 months when i drive above 100km/hr on motorways the car seems to be floating on road with very minimum road grip.Whenever a truck or bus pass by my car its very hard to keep it on road. I went to mechanic to check suspension but he said its ok.I also checked its front and rare shocks which seems to be ok. My tyres are also new dunlop 185-70-13. Alignment and Balancing has been done. While doing Alignment i asked the person to check its suspension bushes and related thing but he said everything is in contact. Someone told me to keep air pressure 29 in rare and 30 psi in front tyres but its also not working.There are no spacers in the car. I do not know what exactly the problem would be. Can anybody tell me some good mechanic in Rawalpinid or Islamabad who can diagnose this problem. I have gone through these discussion on pakwheels and came to know that there are so many brilliant minds here with plenty of experience. I need your kind help...
the car by default doesnt have good grip..
however if you are facing this problem only recently, you need to check your shock absorbers, and the bushes etc YOURSELF.
Thanks @nfssaad
Tyre pressure should be 28 front 30 rear.. I think front 30 rear 29 is not good suggestion.I m newbie at pakwheel.. bit using car since 2003.Had city 2004.. since 2010 start to 2013 end.
thanks for reply@kunrian ...yesterday i have changed front bushes, front shock absorber pads and end rods as mechanic showed me, they were worn out. i hope it can solve my problem...
inshAllah...
@amirsaleemk1 aap ne bataya nahi kia result nikla?
@kunrian..motor way pe abhi gya nae .. i will let you know about result. suspension definitely better than before and not sure about road grip...
Hope you ll get rid of the problem...
i also have some similar isssue in my 2005 citywhat did the parts and labor cost?and how is it performing now?
@salar516 I have changed front suspension bushes (Rs 1200) Stablizer Arm both( 1400) End joints (1000) Front shock absorber boots (1000) brake disc (1400). The grip seems better but drive is still not smooth above 100 Km/hr. The mechanic took Rs 1800 for all the work. extra labour from fitting person for bushes and shork absorber boot was about 1200.
thanks a lot for the costingis the difference in grip worth the cost?
Asalam o Alaikum brother where from you if you from Rawalpindi then i tell you about one mechanic he is also such a great men and master of all types of car
@salar516 infact bushes and boots were worn out so they needed replacement. what i came to know is, every mechanic can not diagnose the exact problem . Its your luck if you find the best mechanic at start otherwise you have to wander...
