Front and rear absorber

 

After 12 years, finally the absorber will be replaced and this is somehow interesting. I bought all from shopee at a reasonable price and the details as below.

Rear absorber 48531-2850 by KYB and claimed to be Toyota Original Parts.


Front absorber 48520-69085 (Left) & 48510-69245 (Right) also claimed to be Toyota Original Parts.
Both parts come without a proper original box but somehow a replacement Toyota box which is dodgy. 

However both absorber come with UMW Malaysia stickers and seems legit. Parts quality seems ok and look like original parts.

Install both and the mechanic didn't complain a thing. So I assume it is a compatible replacement. The parts doesn't seems to have the same parts number as what I found online.

Anyway, after installing the car felt great and very compliant with speed bumps and road irregularity. However it doesn't feel that comfy as 1st day the car come out as the bushing are not changed too.

Hope this helps all. My advice is to change all the absorber (4) together instead of a pair as you will feel the immediate effect of the cushioning.

Another after effect is the car seems higher after installing. Maybe the car balance out after changing the absorber.
