JI1FGX/DU9 Repair of light truck(2011/03/13)
|
We've been continuing to repair light vehicles for a while. Anyway, everyone, including me, is an amateur I decided to try everything, because even if I fail, if I can make the most of it, then that's good!
This is to inspect and replace the rear shock absorbers and bushings
 |
Shock absorbers were completely missing.
 |
The shock absorber mounting was also bent, as if a great deal of force had been applied to it. I tried to put it back together, but a bolt broke off and I had to have it welded back on.
 |
Repairing the front wheels of the 4WD since the back was relatively easy. Boots were torn and tylot ends rusted.
 |
Anyway, I succeeded in removing the shock absorber.
 |
The shock absorber was fine, but the damper inside? The shock absorber was fine, but the damper inside was worn out. Not available in Osamis, so ordered from Zuski-Arena Hamura in Japan.
I really appreciate all the help from Suzuki service for this repair!
 |
I didn't know how to disassemble the driveshaft, so I asked Suzuki to disassemble it. But maybe it was a mistake to pull the leftmost one out.
 |
Suzuki sends you a parts catalog via email and you order the parts you need. It was a repetition.
 |
Lower arm tie rod ends were rusted. I was told, "I recommend replacing it because there is a concern that it may fall out," but I decided not to do so this time due to budget concerns.
 |
Parts ordered from Zuski
 |
The inside was purchased from Osamis, but the outside drive boots were still ordered from Japan. Tylot End purchased the brand 555 from Sankei Kogyo directly from Manila. I knew there were counterfeits out there, so I contacted Japan and was referred to a distributor in Manila!
 |
Shock absorbers assembled and drums? Drum is also installed.
 |
The drive shaft is also washed clean with kerosene and reassembled. Incidentally, since everyone worked in slippers and it was dangerous to wear slippers, we purchased safety shoes and overalls in Cebu and provided them to the workers. Gigi is a "You over, no Filipino owner would go that far." But they are important human resources. We want to get it right before they get hurt.
 |
We also have a few tools and jacks needed for repairs. We are going to buy a compressor, a tool set, a tire changer, a balancer, and finally a lift! I may start a tire store when I get a break from my work at Charlie's Biggly and Mango Farms.
 |
That's it for today's work.
