What kind of noise ? Strut life depends on driving also the roads which the car is been driven...

If you are replacing the struts its advisable to replace both at a time.

[Varun560061]

Yes you can check the ends of the lower arms and also the tie rod ends...

Changed both strut bush kit and barings on the front suspension. The kit costed me 350 for each and 850 for reconditioning. Fixed door vibrations and steering sound. My car is running butter smooth now.

My car's entire tail pipe is rusted and it needed a replacement, Folks please Recommend a free flow ex-host. BTW what is the lifespan of an arrowhead stock replacement air filter?

Automech got good reputation. Raj Hingorani is the favorite amongst OHC modders.

Automech is available on TVM or Thrissur., I need only muffler as I am planing to put stock front piece

Mileage won't differ much for light footers. FFE will make your revv hard

No major updates on my car apart from the rear wiper.

After several days of searching, I found a Nippon dealer and ordered a remote for my car.

That I got it yesterday!

Filled nitrogen for all 5 Tyres but front Tyres loosing air with in a week, I suspect a pin puncture and this week I am taking my car to a puncture guy to fix air leak.

60k Service is nearing. Planing to change entire exhaust system. Planned to get an after market FFE before but I think I would settle with the stock one.

One Under seat bold is rusted. That also pending for the 60k service.

apart from these my car running smooth.
