Guys,
I have been discussing a few things off late about a Cedia that we had initially planned to sell off, but then when I was out in the market, I could not quite find a car that I really wanted to own, hence I have now got the registration renewed and am refurbishing my Cedia. I have got the timing belt and tension er replaced.
I have some clunking noise from the suspension (especially the rear one), there are no leaks on the shocks and the suspension bushings were already replaced. The noise was better but has not gone away completely. The car has done 150000 kms over 15 years and I expect it to last for another 5 years at least, after that it depends on the car killer policies of the government.
Would it be worth replacing all 4 shocks for better handling and ride, given that there are no obvious issues with the shocks except probably a harsh ride due to wear and tear. The tyre wear is normal as of now and no real issues while braking.
Given that over the next 5 years, I think I would be driving just about 40000kms at best, am in 2 minds whether to replace the shocks or not. There is also some money which I need to spend on an under body anti rust coat.
Any opinions will be helpful.
