Isis spring stiffener problem, added strut bar
Last night, 19 Dec, the left front spring stiffener fell out of the strong coil and was ground by the tyre. Thank God it happened at our home carpark. So YowCH jacked up the car, and with Joseph’s help (holding the torch light), tied whatever was left of the silicone stiffener back into the spring coil.
Today, YowCH took half-day leave to visit E-rev to get this replaced, changing to stiffer and taller red ones on the front. The rear ones are working fine.
While being there, we also stocked-up on the Redline 5W30 engine lubricants (bought 6 bottles of 4 quarts each) for ourselves, Gene and Daren. And as E-rev workers were unpacking a new shipment of strut bars, YowCH asked about having a strut bar for the Isis, and was advised that the Wish bar will fit, and in any case, there is not cost in trying. So the Isis now has a new front strut bar which costs $150.00.
With the very high COE of close to $100,000 for 1.6L and above, it is worth improving our current car :)
