Team-BHP - Matiz suspension issues

I've been driving my Uncle's Matiz for the past few months and I believe there is a serious problem with the rear suspension. On bad/uneven roads the car lurches to the left on the rear side. Since I know the car behaves this way, I do take care while I drive. But still, i need to get it repaired/rectified.

A few questions:

1) How much does a suspension overhaul cost?
2) Any pointers in Mumbai/Pune where I can get it done by a reliable mechanic?

I'm happy with the performance of the car - it's given me - depending on right foot pressure - between 15 and 19 KMPL. It's done about 80k kms and is in decent condition otherwise. I do feel a slight loss in power over say a Maruti 800.

Looks like your balancing rod may be in some trouble. Or the rear shocks. I had a similar problem in my Matiz (2,60,000 kms, 1999 edition) only when I bust my rear shock absorber. Plus, check the rubbers. I don't know what the balancing rod costs, but the cost should not be more than 5k at most.

I do my servicing at Thane (Wagle estate) - Mavis Motors 25828989 - used to be a Daewoo Service Centre, and they have guys with experience with Matiz.

There is also one guy called Madan who broke away from Mavis, claims to do the work - 9867322707 - at Powai, Bombay.

Thanks Zakaas, I'll probably go to Chinchwad first! It's closer to me in Pune than Thane from Badlapur.

Will let you know when I do go there.

they all vanished.....same with people @ Sharada (aka Taurus aka planet ford)....tried to locate them but invain....

however, getting parts is not that difficult in Pune...'national tempo' in Rasta peth, 'Narang' opp to Laxmi Narayan Theater, some spare-part shop exactly opp to Jangli Maharaj Mandir on J M Road.....
