I can hear a little kalabog sa rear suspension. Kapag little rough roads eg Edsa, I can hear it from the back. Pina check ko last sat sa kia pasig they said normal daw. Mahigpit daw mga bolts and links, still meron pa rin. Dapat solid ang sound bec bago lahat.
Do you guys have the same experience in your carens?

Yes..sa akin konti - may time na meron may time na wala but I am still bothered. when I asked my rear passengers kung may ramdam sila, sabi wala naman daw. Ok nga daw ang ride sa likod. I plan one of these days na ako mismo ang uupo sa likod para maramdaman ko.
I usually experience this pag wala ako gaano sakay.. or is it just because magaan sa likod?
Good thing you raised this up. Itatanong ko din sana ito sa Casa pag bakasyon.

Possible din magaan sa likod. But this is not normal for a brand new car. Dapat solid lahat ng suspension. I ask kia pasig if they cannot solve the noise, they will have to replace it.

I experience it. Nung una hindi ko pinapansin. Pero nung pinansin ng asawa ko, naging conscious na ako.

guys,
are you referring to the loud episodic "bang" on the right rear side? It's the coil spring hitting the metal base because of the very thin rubber damper seperating the two coil spring and the metal base.
have your coil spring removed and wrapped with durable plastic-rubber combo garden hose. I brought mine at kia congressional, and they did it under warranty (except for the hose which i bought for 100.00 pesos in the nearby hardware). Look for mr. ferdinand santiago. so far, the problem was corrected.
I already wrote about the problem way back and wrote about it again just last week both in tsikot forum.
hope this one will help. medyo nakaka-worry kasi iyan, especially the carens is very new and CBU from korea.
merry christmas.

Thanks sir bengmd. I came from cruven yesterday they just tightened the rear shock mount located under the wheel well. Maluwag ang right side kesa sa kaliwa. They said ganun talaga pag bnew. May times daw na luluwag ang bolts sa first 10k. Nawala ng konti ang kalabog but I'll let Kia check the springs this sat. I can hear something pa.

i can hear certain "kablag" sound kung 2 lang kami ng misis ko nakasakay at mabilis ang daan ko sa may lubak, pero kung may additional passengers kami hanggang mapuno, wala na yung sound.

That also what the pasig dealership did to my unit during the first time I brought the problem to them. As expected, I thought it was already fixed. Then i realized that the sound is not always present and will only appear occasionally. The problem happened again and I brought it again to the same dealership. Same procedure was done. On the third time it happened, thats the time i brought it to the congressional dealership. They were able to fix it and hopefully that would be the last of it.

Ito pala ang sakit ng Carens at lumalabas within 1 year.
Unlike my Innova, almost four years na pero ang ganda pa rin ng suspension.

I dont think it's really a problem. Have your coil springs insulated. They put a rubberhose in the coil springs. I think one owner already did that.

Yeah, to me it's not really a problem, like with what I said, naririnig ko lang may certain "kablag" kung ako lang or dalawa lang kami ni misis ang nakasakay at medyo mabilis ang takbo ko sa lubak, pero kung puno naman, wala naman. It's also what I experienced with my old car. hindi ko lang naman ito nahalata after a year, kahit nung bago pa yung carens ko. What would really piss me off is if there would be "squeeking" and other weird sounds emanating from underneath...so far wala pa naman

i agree with sir jovill and sir barzee. Minor lang talaga yung problem.
