Suzuki Multicab Steering problems??? hmmm.. this may help...

(readers>> i'm no mechanic so terms or used words may not be technically correct )

We own a Suzuki Srum van, this probably has served us for almost 10 yrs now. This van has been thru a lot but has never failed us (i think).. But of course over time this car has given us, mainly me:) some headaches since I am in-charge when it comes to car repairs and maintenance. 

If by chance you are experiencing any steering issues, like tire mis-alignment; crappy underchasis sounds when passing thru crappy streets and steering rattles.. chances are you have some steering issues. It maybe some rubber bushings that needs replacements: lower arm assembly bushing isssues, center post bushing replacement or rack-end overhauls.

My go to guy is Jesse. Before he was assigned in a shop across Toyota Tabok Mandaue, owned by Mr. Alan Choachuy. Currently he is now at the Aldo Goodyear Servitek before reaching Canduman. 

Tips:
Centerpost issue - Centerpost bushing replacement can be purchased in Tri-J (Mandaue - Tabok branch). I forgot how much it cost me but I think it was not more than 350. 

Lower Arm Assemly - When buying one be sure to bring a sample. Based on 2 separate purchases I always comeback returning the wrong item. There are 2  types:) 

Rack End - If this needs overhauling, Boss Jesse will point you to a machine shop nearby. They charge I think 600 or 800 for the oil seal for both sides. Boss Jesse will be dismantling the assembly for you. 

Charges are cheap, at around 250 to 350 depending on what the issue is. If you want things done in one day, get to the shop early like 8am.
