Suzuki SJ410 Suspension Lift

I'm not satisfied with the current height of my SJ410. I decided to try the SOA to increase the height, however I'm aware of the effect on the stability of the car for this type of lift. It also to enable the 31" wheels and put more height for river crossing. Anyway, to give it a try I send the car to my friend's workshop and change to the new look.

    Hi There,
    I have bought a Suzuki that has had the same suspention lift done as your vehicle. I have however serious issues keeping the vehicle on the road as it changes direction drastically at the slightest bump in the road. Do you have the same problem or have any idea what could cause this?

    Thanks for visiting my lousy blog =).

    I have no experience of such problem with my SOA. However I have terrible experience with death wobble. Death wobble is violent shake in front end when front tyres hitting bump on the road. It may be due to broken steering damper or other related parts in front axle (king pin bearings, wheel bearings etc..). The problem gone after replacing the steering damper, king pin bearings, wheel bearing, knuckle seals and disc brake bearings.

    I'm not sure the exact problem on your SOA setup. I was told that if SOA is not done properly, there may possible issue especially on the stering. You can try to check with the following:
    1. the steering damper
    2. wheel bearings and king pin bearings
    3.recheck the SOA setup, especially the steering setup.

DIY - Hyundai Inokom Atos Starter Removal

I replaced my Suzuki Jimny SJ410 starter sometime ago and it is quite easy because plenty of space in SJ410 engine bay. However, the Atos compact engine bay is really challenging for starter removal. Actually, a hard start had happened to Atos since few months and recently getting worse. Service centre diagnosed as starter problem. The battery is new but very hard to start especially after turned off the engine and need to wait for few minutes then the Atos can be started with two or three key turn. It is very annoying when turning off the engine while filling fuel at petrol station.  Wifey asked at service centre the new starter, guess how much.. RM1K++.. matai.. crazy expensive. Alternatively, have to go for third party starter and looking around Inanam, most of the car parts shops do not have Atos starter. Besides, I don't really know which shops have this starter. Finally, I asked the regular shop at Tamparuli and need to order (no stock already) with price is ab...

In this journey, the road is easy from KK to Kota Belud but a little bit steep from Kota Belud Ranau-Tuaran junction via Jalan Ranau Bypass.
