Help needed! my car sengek

[Jakk]

Hi all taiko taiko, i hope this thread is in the correct section....

First, I drive Honda Prelude 4th gen.

finger gap between my front tire and fender is 3, both normal, but at the rear side, it becomes:

rear passenger side = 4 finger
rear driver side = 3 finger.

both original absorber, my mech got no clue on it. I already changed:

1. upper arm ball joint / bush
2. lower arm ball bush
3. ARB end link
4. switching between ori absorber and Tein adjustable.

but the problem still exist. Will knuckle be the culprit? :hmmmm:
or worst come to worst kena langgar b4

and 1 more thing, whenever i go thru a road bump or a small hole, a "duk" sound will came out from my rear passenger side and my car will kena pull down to that side. This happened since i raise the height of my Tein adjustable, after i switching back to ori absorber, this kind of "effect" still exist.

Hope sifu sifu and taiko taiko here could help me out. Many thanks

i going to check my camber soon, and switch to Tein, to avoid ori absorber no strength / spring no stength.

but after the car being released from jack, both are 4 finger gap. After apply pressure behind / drive around, then the right rear start to drop to 3.


Btw, its just the rear side sengek. Front cantik. =X

My car comes with no 4WS :)

i have 2 idea on my mind:

1. change knuckle.
2. adjust the ride height with my tein.

 

[DanzEterna]

i tot all preludes area equipped with 4ws....
it happened to my bro in law, his is due to 1 of the arm already kong.......
he readjusted the height of adjustable suspension.

No, not all Prelude comes with 4WS.

Mine is BA8 chassis. Only BA9 and BB1 comes with 4WS.
Without 4WS, less problem lo, wahahhaa.

Btw, i am planning to change the ball joint of the knuckle first before doing any adjustment, since the previous owner didnt really take a good care on the car, lets assume he didnt change the bushes and balljoint for 20 years...... (those part i change after i bought the car, most bushes and balljoint already koyak)

 

[DanzEterna]

icic. thanks for the info bro.
yeah i suggest u do that too.....
if your lucky might sort out your headache.

update when youre done.

 

[Jakk]

Update:

my mech jack up my car and check the ball joint of the knuckle, everything is fine. So he test drive my car.

Conclusion : Absorber kong.... my adjustable also kong d

so lucky, both ori and adjustable also kong at the left hand side o.o

Today went to source 1 set of rear absorber, ori. Pasang d, now are fine....

still sengek btw, but nvm, as long as the sound gone. =X

Thanks taiko taiko for all your help !!!
