to the master tsikoteers out there:

i need ur help! by the way, i'm a newbie here, but i love to read the threads in this site. i'm glad that i discovered this.

i have a problem w/ my ride, 1997 mitsu galant super saloon. just about a month ago, my car were having unpleasant sounds, pag tumatama sa rough road may tumotonog na knocking sound (tok sound), & pag lumiliko, may ibang knocking sounds na mas maingay (tok3X sounds). Pinaayos ko sa mechanic - his findings - damaged outer cv joint & lower suspension arm. i instructed him to clean it up & put some grease on it, then ibalik na muna para magamit ko yong car, tapos ibabalik ko na lang sa kanya pag nakabili na ko ng parts.

my mechanic told me that those parts need to be replaced ASAP. pero after he fixed it yesterday, nawala na yong knocking sound (tok3X sounds) pag lumiliko, ang natira na lang yong tok sound pag tumatama sa rough road. nag-canvass na ko ng prices ng lower suspension arm & cv joint, unfortunately, as of now, i'm on a tight budget. so, i'm planning to buy those parts sa may, 2011 na sana pagdating ng mid-year bonus. my question is, is it safe to drive my car until may of this year?

short distances lang naman ang trips ko, usually mga 1 km to 6 kms per trip, city driving lang & pag nag-a-outing lang to beach, mga 14 kms yong one way, yon na halos ang pnakamalayong trip e. kanina, i drove it to the beach, 14 kms back & forth, so about 38 kms. sakay ko si mrs., 2 daughters & 2 yayas tapos may mga dalang baon. so far, ok naman ang ride nya except yong "tok" sound nga pag tumatama sa rough road.

what's your opinion about this guys? safe pa ba i-drive yong car ko? wala bang tendency na kumalas yong outer cv joints &/or lower suspension arms?
