I Regret Decision I Made Today. Which Cost Wastage. by fineboynl(m): 11:14pm On Sep 19, 2023
This morning i made a mistake of my life.
I went to raise my car up today because I really wanted to do body work and change the front bumper.

The kazeem mechanics couldn’t removed the 2 back shocks. They said the back shocks absorbers are first time losing enhance they will need panel-belter to come and remove about 4 bolts from the two back shocks before it will come out. Meanwhile i was already regretting my decision as the panel belter was charging me exorbitantly to do the work. This panelbelter cut the cast iron from the down to remove the bolts and couldn’t weld it back, because it was cast iron and he we telling me it will work like that with no issues as he cant weld something to cover that space.

When tthey finally brought down the 4 shocks. They have scattered so many things with fire which i have to replace one after the other. Even to the extent the fire burnt the brake fluid pipe and hydraulic leaks out there.

To my surprise 3 shocks were dead. No way they will work it with dead shock’s as its doesn’t make any sense. The remaining one that was even good was too soft as i was advised to change the 4 shocks. Money I didn’t even budget i was just spending it like that before i know almost 100k just disappeared.

Funny enough the Car became shapeless as I regret ever raising it. First thing tomorrow morning i’m going there to remove that shit they put on the shocks. What a waste.

I believe sharing his pain online is a way to cool his anger, let him open as much thread as he likes which is better than transferring aggression physically

Update. I have the comb removed from the shocks.

Outside of the fact the aim was not actualized which is to lift the ride. But The smooth drive experience from the new shocks is not a waste after-all. There is a huge difference from this shock and the former ones.

I noticed it will also help with bumps and bad roads compared to the other bad former ones

Take heart.
Sometimes, these are the learning curves we have to go through as car owners.

Theres a better way to slightly raise the car though without excessive intrusion. But usually it is best to leave it the way it is.

Experiment gone wrong. Na so 2 of my boltjoint started making noise after I did wheel alignment. I fixed it only for 1 front suspension and 2 at the back start their own noise shocked. Luckily the wheel alignment guy was able to repair the front 1 so I had to buy just 2 suspension cool. Op better sell your experimental car get an SUV
