专家请看进来: 换strut replacement(shock absorber)

[zhonghuayang888]

今天去一家Garage,想换两个新前轮,结果他们检查后告诉我:

1. 前轮的两个"tie-rod"需要更换,就是因此使前面两轮"内"八字,很快报废. charge me $168;

2. 后轮的suspension有问题, 若温度很低, 会震得很厉害(这我倒确实在去年冬天感觉到了). 经检查,需换后面两边的"shock" or "shock absorber"(?),我看到了这个parts,就象个打气筒. charge me $290;

3. 两个新的cooper前轮all-season, +labor+balance, charge me $210.

这还不包做alignment,因为他们不做(好像没device.),据他们说,大约$60.
(以上价格包括了labor.)

本来预备花$200换轮胎, 结果一下变成700多,郁闷! 但听上去每一件都关系到安全,尤其是冬季开车.

请专家给些建议, 都应换吗? 价格还合理吗? (我在google里查,好像shock没这么贵?)

谢了!

sounds your car is pretty old.

yes, you need to change them. but you can get better quote from somewhere else.

2. 后轮的suspension有问题, 若温度很低, 会震得很厉害(这我倒确实在去年冬天感觉到了). 经检查,需换后面两边的"shock" or "shock absorber"(?),我看到了这个parts,就象个打气筒. charge me $290;

no. for an old car, you don't have to. it doesn't worth it anymore.

3. 两个新的cooper前轮all-season, +labor+balance, charge me $210.

if there is no much tread left on your tires, it's not safe drive in the winter. you'd better change them. if possible, get FOUR winter tires.

这还不包做alignment,因为他们不做(好像没device.),据他们说,大约$60.

Today, I went to do all the fixes with the listed prices. After asking around, those quotes seem normal. And after fixing, the driving feels really better.

The suspension is also important for safety. Because in winter, if car is often jumping, and off the road, or shaking on the road, it is much more possible to be out of control on the icy or snowy road.

This is my opinion, safety is worth of money.
