i try to repair, take out-install many time, change mounting, send back to gab sevice center, but result come out is same, who people face a same problem, or which shop can help me to solve the problem????
hi, in order to help us help you, can you describe the symptoms with more detail?
- like in what situations does the sound seem to appear?
- do you get it when turning or turning hard
- going over bad roads or a hump or a hole
this may or may not be due to the coilovers
you may want to film the situation with your phone and post it on youtube for us
im sure its the springs...
when i brake, sound like metal twisting...suspect the springs pusing during braking...
kinda irritating though..
sometimes, wear and tear can cause the spring perches(the circular items that holds the spring) rub against the springs when turning the steering wheel. and may emit a loud "tap" at the end.
in your case, it's during braking, which i'm guessing should be the common anti roll bar bushings, which in our weather, with constant rain and dry would quickly de-grease the bushings against the metal bar cause squeaks under stress
a quick fix is always WD-40. a better quick fix is some good lithium grease or similar. the best fix is to hoist the car and remove the bushings and apply some real grease.
hope this helps
sometimes, we learn through experience that certain sounds may not be what we think it is or where its from
