Honda Stream : Vibrations

Str2 · Post by **Str2** » Fri Feb 05, 2010 12:22 am

Recently I went to KM to trouble shooting for vibrations and they found my engine mountings and front suspension and suspension bushes worn out on my 5 yr old Stream.
I agreed with their anaylsis and was quoted $600-$700.

Can anyone help recommend a decent workshop to do this, hopefully at a lower cost than KM.
All suggestions welcomed ( I'm staying in Queenstown so Ubi area I guess is out for me).

Where can I buy Honda suspension struts at reasonable price.... Thks.

U can google for Thian Seng Alexandra village number, nearest to your house.
They are Honda stockist and would have the parts you need.

Visit and survey workshop at Alexandra village and have your parts replaced there since Ubi is out for you.

Remember to do you alignment after you change your suspension.

Thanks.

I would like to save some money instead of Honda brands by going for OEM brands KYB or Tokico shocks.

Honda use KYB right ?
If Yes, which is recommended, the Premium or Excel-G series ?

U might want to compare the prices first

I did my checks and here's the update:

1) Tokico doesn't make Honda Stream (RN3) shocks.
2) KYB doesn't hv front shocks for my Stream 2.0L RN3....They do hv the rear shocks (they hv only front shocks only for 1.7L type)(I checked with KYB Thailand, also no Honda Stream there).

Next step is check with Malaysia spare part shop.

If still no luck, then I will hv to settle for original Honda front shocks and KYB rear shocks.

Hope this bit of info is useful for RN3 owners.
