hindi natural yan....try mo alisin lahat ng loose na gamit sa trunk or buong car mo and drive it again sa lubak....imo meron ka lang gamit diyan that emits that sound...

Have them check all the bushings; shocks, stabilizer joints and bushings, suspension arms or top end bushings for mcpherson struts, cv joints.

[ebbfolls]

Im just guessing on this, but given the low profile tires and the low pressure you have, maybe the wheels are hitting the road irregularities, creating a harsh jolt. If you still have the original tires and wheels, I suggest momentarily switching to those and try to find out if the kalog disappears. If it does, then the problem lies in the low profile tires or the low pressure or both.

did you replace your shocks narin? it may be time to do so na since they might not be able to absorb some of larger bumps.

why not bring it to my shop and we can see if we can look it over for you. baka bushings ng upper arms din yun pero no way of knowing without actually seeing the car

[jeff108]

nagpalit n din ako ng shocks... KYB pinalit ko... nandun p dn ung sound..... tnx ung upper arm ko bago lng dn and ung lower ball joint matigas p wala png prob. pati ung stab bushing and ung malakeng bushing s arm pinalitan ko n and pina ipitan ko p goma para mahigpit. ung mga axle ko kakaparepackko lang din wala padaw cra s matonetics ko to pnagawa tnx.... s help nyo guys

[Ungas]

Did you also change the stabilizer bar links/joints?

[speedyfix]

yup, that could be responsible for the clock clock sound over small bumps. not problem yan over the smooth pavement pero the minute you hit small irregularities dun na lumalabas.

[jeff108]

napalitan ko n dn ung stab links,bar, and bushing....


speedyfix natural n kaya to? s small pavement ko lng to nararamdaman .... anu kaya dapat ko pang palitan n pyesa...? sorry if i have to many question..... guys i have my last quetion.... nagpalowerd ako... merwede lowering sprng ang gamt ko then KYB shocks... yung mekanik s Wheelers s bnawe ang sbe skin bumili ako ng stock n shock stopper para ilagay s loob ng shocks para hnd mag untugan.... bumili ako ng 4 then ang gnawa ng mekanik hinati nya ung 2 stopper then... ang nilagay nya s bawat shocks ko kalahati lng..... Tama b to? kc ang alam ko dapt buo ang ikakabet s bawat shock/..... thanks a bunch sorry if i have to many question.... medyo ignorante pako e... but i thank u a lot for helping me tnx

ot: speedyfix, where is your shop located? mukhang pareho kami ng problem ni jeff108.

jeff108,

Pag low profile yung gulong, there is much less room for sidewall flex kaya dapat taas ang pressures ng gulong, resulting in a harsher ride.

Yung lowered suspension naman, unless hindi binago yung spring rate, kailangan ng mas matitigas na spring para hindi madali mauntog yung rubber bump stops sa suspension. Ngayon, kung pinutulan yung rubber bump stops para mag-compensate sa shortened travel siguro ma-retain yung original spring rate pero delikado kung sumayad yung gulong sa car body dahil sa increased upward travel nito. To ensure na hindi sumayad yung gulong, ipa try mo na i max upward travel yung suspension (habang naka jackstands) without the springs or shocks, and with the tire on, and with the shortend bump stops on. Tignan mo kung sumayad ba ang gulong pag pina-liko mo yung manibela.

The conclusion of the matter is, any modification in the direction of lower ride height and/or lower profile tires will definitely increase ride harshness. I've never heard of, much less seen, a lowered car with a soft and smooth ride.

2..5 inches pa ung gap ng tires ko and fender..... hnd 2matama ung gulong ko s fender.

Nagpalagay nako ng shock stopper n goma kaya sure n hnd n mag uuntugan ung shocks ko pero bakit ganun im using a kyb shocks wala png 4 months bkt hnd n 2mataas ung shock ko pag pinisa ko pababa.... dko alam kung fluid o gas type ang gamit ko and anu ang mas ok gamitin n shockx pag nakalowerd k KYB o TOKICO....? kc ang alam ko pag malambot n ung shockx baka nag uuntugan ung lowerng spring n gamt ko kaya may sound n TOK pag nalulubak ako s small pavemnt pero pag malalalim wala nmng 2nog......... pero pag pinisa ko ung shocks ko matigas sobra hnd sya lumulusot..... matigas pag pinipisa ko hnd nga lang 2mataas..... dalawang shocks ko s front ganun hnd 2mataas but matigas.... ang sbe ng mekanik ang fluid type daw hnd 2mataas, matigas pag pinisa mo pababa, sumsabay s laro ng spring... wala rin akong nakitang tagas n oil s shockx kung fluid type ang gamt ko.... and ang alam ko nmn s gas type pagpinisa mo cya 2mataas , pero pag cra n lumulusot sya pag pinisa mo pababa ung shockx
,........
Thank u for helping me guys....... really apprec8 it a lot

palitan ko n kaya ung shockx ko ulit? hnd n kc 2mataas e pero matigas sobra pag pinisa mo pababa and hnd cya lumulusot wala din tagas n oil ung shocks..... tnx

salamt s mga nagreply...

musang, jeff108

why don't you guys pass by the shop if you're in the area? just have my mechanic go with you for a spin then when narinig na nya yung ingay mas madali nya makikita kung ano sira.

look for felix if i'm not there

thanks!
