Brand new Yes. Original not sure. All parts (shock mounts, Sway bar links, bushes shock bumper stoppers, lower arm bushes etc) came with Honda Sticker with Badge . but I am pretty sure not genuine. as per Hyaenidae's reply this will be s issue for me. Shocks are genuine Honda from Tech motors 42000 front each ( I don't like KYB Stiffness) rear around 30. Steering rack Used. Rs.30,000 but i replaced rack end and tie rod with new Honda brand cost 20,000.00 all 4 parts (Also may be not genuine).

Thank you for details. I think there is lot to learn from your reply to my mechanic. Specially about CV Axle

I have Honda Grace 2016 car with 105000 genuine mileage. few months ago some noises started when hitting pot holes and when driving damaged roads. when checking with my mechanic he suggested a full suspension repair as all parts are original and already completed 100000 km. all worn parts replaced including 4 shock absorbers with shock mount and related parts, Complete steering rack, balance bar bushes, two links, lower arm bushes, caliper pins, after repair he confirmed there are no any worn out parts generate noises. Unfortunately there is still knocking noise when hitting pot holes. mechanic failed to find any reason he suggest replace both front CV axles as there is play on inner CV joints.( He says bearing or CV cup worn out) 1. Is there knocking noise generate when hitting pot holes if inner joint worn out? 2 is this is a common issues for this particular car model and where would be the cause? Any one has a idea i highly appreciated

Anyone used or newly replaced this CWORKS brand shock absorbers? Its manufactured by Toyota but Made in China. How about Ride quality when comparing KYB? Anyone has idea or experience highly appreciated.

Nothing. I think Odometer has been changed 90% of Vehicles in Sri Lanka except few 1st owner home used vehicles. Just check on popular classified websites all most 10 to 15 years old cars odometer is lower than 100000 Km (80000Km is the most popular number). One guy i know do visits car sales and tamper odometers. So never rely on Odometer number. like experts mentioned do a full checkup if all things on good condition that what you can get. Probably running repairs will arise early than you expect due to lower odometer number and ready for it.

I have exact same experienced on my Honda Fit GP1 few years back. 100% agreed with for Ted's post. steering rack nut is in too tight due to Rack and pinon worn out. True when using few days will loose the wheel or you can loosen nut manually. But then Daka Daka noise will come again. After repair on my GP1 steering wheel was very tight and not returned. even heard grinding noise when turning. when loosen the nut manually noise came back. I will never Recommend repair racks best thing replace with recondition one. Following is my previous post about Aqua Rack. I have repaired Steering Rack of my Aqua twice. It was never workout for me. repaired rack only last few months only with very bad roads in Sri Lanka. If only Rack bush worn out repair by replacing bush will be Ok. But if Rack and pinion worn out it can never repair. Just waste of money. Only thing Replace with Brand new one or Good conditioned Recondition one as i did for my Aqua. Guarge Mechanics will say it can be repair you can run year or two blah blah never true. you will hear daka daka noise within few weeks or months when loosing tightened rack. This is experience from not only Aqua few of my previous cars Suzuki, Honda Fit, Prius all the same. If any one knows how to repair Rack and pinion repairing Rack will be Ok. Also if you are running good Carpeted Roads most of time repaired rack will last more period of time. and also check rack ends and Tie rod ends are tight. Note that repairing rack will cost you Rs.10K to Rs.12K and recondition rack of Aqua will cost Rs.20K to 25K.

I have used Dunlop LM705 (Japanese) on Honda Fit GP1 and Suzuki Swift Beetle 2008. May be Bridgestone better than Dunlop but LM705 is very comfortable and Very Quite. Therefore, durability may be less. but excellent Tyre if available on your size.

Good explanation iRage. This is what most people need aware of. most of them think only the 'Made in Japan' printed is only good. 90% of them are not actual Made in Japan only the print. I think if the product is genuine (brand name) no matter where it is manufactured (if they follow quality standards).

Dunlop SP Sport LM705 (Japanese) superb Tyre for Honda Fit GP1. Very Comfortable, Quite, Durable.

Check noise only hear hitting bumps when steering wheel straight position (not turning right or left)

Hi all Yesterday i went to repair Power steering rack of a Toyota Aqua 2012 (Due to noise issue) First i went to new lathe work place to know it can be repaired guy says yes charges is Rs6500.00 for total repair (if pinion worn out it should also repaired + replace the Bush). then i went to totally new place to remove and fix the rack which was a place lathe workshop guy recommended. They remove rack just took 10 to 15 minutes using hydraulic jack and lathe workshop repaired rack within 30 minutes and the fixing again took 15 minutes. My problem is they charge Rs 6500.00 for only remove and fix the rack (Total cost is Rs13,000.00) and i feel i was ripped off by garage people. The last time i done this same job for Honda Fit GP1 (different places) rack repair cost was Rs2500.00+ remove fixing charges Rs.3500.00 Total Rs.6000.00 one and half year ago. Anyone who did a Steering Rack repair recently let me know is this charges reasonable? Thanks
