Tok tok sound/rattle after 15-20 minutes of driving (CIVIC VTI 96)

[manley]

Mga Ka-honda patulong lang po. Bago pa lang sa akin oto ko... 96 vti. eto nagiging problem ko ngayon:

After about 15-20 minutes of driving, may lumalabas na lagutok/langitngit sa may bandang left side. Ramdam sa steering kung minsan. At first my suspect is the suspension but then the puzzling thing is bakit hindi agad lumalabas? And the suspension arm is relatively new pa naman. And the shock absorbers are also new. Could it be the rack & pinion or anything within the power steering system? Parang may slight na kabig din kasi eh to the left. Pagka-park ng oto at inalog ko yung harap, lumalabas yung sound. Pero pag malamig na ulit ang makina, say after about an hour, wala na yung sound.

Baka meron sa inyong naka-experience din nag ganito. Your inputs will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Sir try mo patignan yang PS mo. Di po ba nagbabawas ng PS fluid?

[ghosthunter]

Check the suspension's top mount. There is a rubber bushing there that might have worn out and might need replacing already.

ino-obserbahan ko po sir ngayon kung nagbabawas. so far non-conclusive pa since mga 3 days pa lang yung problem.

sir, try nyo check yung shock mounting. You also said new yung suspension arm nyo, but have you doubled-check yung part duon that houses the bushing? try nyo rin tingnan baka worn out na.
