Suspension Repairs - Help Needed

Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone,
I have a 1986 Suzuki Swift (Old Shape), the one with leaf springs at the back!
For quite sometime now i have been thinking of getting a comprehensive work done on its suspension as it has been exuding some strange noises.
I do not believe in putting in "repaired" or "kaabli" parts anymore as the experience has not been good (courtesy some poor selfish mechanics including SHAHJEE).
Therefore, I would like to ask all Pakwheelers in Karachi to guide as to where can I get all the right suspension stuff ( shock absorbers, rack-ends, axels, etc.) and from where can I get the work done???

if u want your suspension to be good then i would suggest doing a complete overhaul. shocks, springs and bushings. do some research online and find out if aftermarket stuff is better for you or is OEM equipment. in pakistan unfortunately OEM means **** quality so i would suggest going the kabli route but since u have already had a bad experience with them then there is no point.
with mistris u have to sit on their heads and check eevrything they put in your car, its a headache but it will save you from other headaches later on.
for leaf springs get them from a kabli dealer, most of the time only the rubber in the ends of the leafsprings are kharab u will have to replace them.
u could also put in shocks and springs at the back like the new cultus if u are prepared to do some modifications....
