My Maruti SX4 ZDi at 1.34 lakh km: Suspension overhaul & other updates

I had also swapped Lenso wheels and Michelin tyres from the S-Cross to the SX4.

Dr.Naren recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Updates:

I got time to fix couple of things. Parts were sourced online from Boodmo and Gomechanic.

MGP front struts:

Gabriel rear shocks:

Rane Stabilizer link rods:

MGP Stabilizer bar bushes:

OTR tie rod ends:

Headlights:

Left side ORVM:

I drove to the service centre with these parts and got the installation done. It was a much needed task as the car rides and handles brilliantly after suspension overhaul. Most of the unwanted noises have also disappeared. I got new headlights as the old ones were in bad shape and the projector setup output had diminished a lot with age.

I had also swapped Lenso wheels and Michelin tyres from the S-Cross to the SX4. I also tried clay bar for first time, it was from Wavex. Happy with the outcome. Posting few pics clicked after wash + claying:

I drove to Bangalore in the SX4. It was a pleasant drive. The Mysore to Bangalore drive is good with most of the bypasses open for traffic. Current ODO is 1.34 lakh km.

Mods planned:

  • Engineering Exponents Decat Downpipe.
  • Wolf Moto Stage 2 ECU Remap.
  • Bi-Xenon Projector Retrofit.
