help! Loud thud on front suspension

[bratski]

I recently had this problem when i had my front shocks replaced. Whenever I make a left turn and go up a ramp then down there would be a single loud thud..the sound is like hitting a metal bar to your car chassis.This problem only happens occasionally. When the front wheels are pointed straight this doesnt happen(only when the wheels are turned to the left). I had the shock mounting, bushings, stabilizer link,cv joints, tie rod and all other underchassis parts inspected and everything is ok.The shocks I replaced were the original ones and the vehicle is a gen2 crv. Its also impossible to detect on test drives as this problem would only come up on an irregular basis. Help

hmmm. di kaya sumasayad sa fender yung goma mo pag lumiliko ka?

Is the thud noticeable only when you turn, or as you're moving forward at an angle?

I'm not sure what it is (CV Joints are like that, but it's a tok tok tok rather than a single TOK) but it might be tie bar related. Some suspension problems can't be diagnosed when the car is on the lift, as the components aren't under weight at that time. Best to have a mechanic ride with you and try to duplicate the conditions in which it happens.

If all else fails, take it back to the same place and have them disassemble and reassemble again. It's possible something is out of alignment very slightly, and it only shows up in extreme cases.

happy gilmore,
wala namang sumasayad sa fender and even if may sasayad it wouldnt make a sound as if hinahampas ng bakal yung car chassis
niky,
when i make a u turn on level roads there is no sound. It makes the sound lang on inclines and driveway ramps.Its just a single very loud "tok" lang. It doesnt make more than one "tok" kaya nga i find it weird.
Na try ko narin pa road test with the mechanic with me, the problem is the darn problem wouldnt show up tuwing ipapa check ko.Di naman kasi everytime lumalabas yung sound

[bratski]

To give you guys an idea,when i approach my driveway ramp or any ramp with a steep angle, I usually turn the wheels to the right.vehicle's right front wheel goes up the ramp first followed by the left front wheel. The sound usually comes up as i turn the wheels to the left at the end of the short ramp. I already had the whole thing disassembled and reassembled and still the problem persists

Okay, I'm stumped... I think it might be a loose bushing on a tie rod or steering rod...

naubos na rin yung buhok ng mekaniko ko kakahanap. Sira na daw career nya.hehehehe. Maybe tie rod ang cause kasi medyo maluwag narin.Wala pa namang kalampag nung binabaklas ko. Ok lang sana kung mahina lang yung tunog kaso the sound is really loud like metal hitting metal

[mikelsky]

sir..ganyan din problem ko sa oto ko...parehong pareho tayo....di rin makita kung saan yun...balitaan mo ako sir kung nahanap na yung problem...inis na rin kasi ako sa tunog na yun.

HAHAHAHA!!! ayus .

bratski,
Anu pala ride mo?

[1D4LV]

baka nga bushing. if i remember it right, i had an experience like this, pero sa rear right part naman ng oto. had a mechanic check everything including the condition of the shocks and springs, pero walang nakita.

then i remembered na parang may ni-lubricate lang sya before, sa mga bushings located behind the wheel. nawala sya temporarily, pero after a week bumalik ulit.

tapos pinapalitan ko ng bushing, nawala na....

[NazQ]

hmm.. tandaan ko dati nakakarinig ako ng tunog ng bakal pag brake ko. yun pala yung tubong nilagay ko sa trunk (cheater bar for tire changes) bumabangga sa kaha..

[bratski]

afrasay,
crv gen2.

nagtry ako magpa align medyo nabawasan ang incident ng loud tok sound. Pero nung paakyat sa driveway ko bumalik na naman.

[artpogi]

Kinda longshot but .... try mo i-lift yung side kung saan mo naririnig yung sound, then try to move/shake the wheels, if meron tunog baka sa brake pads yan.

try checking the mounting of the brake pads.

di ba yung pinagpapatungan ng brake pad meron parang maliit na metal clip/shim(?) sa ibabaw at ilalim, baka nawala na yun. Kapag nawala yun, yung brake pads hindi na secure yung mounting, gagalaw yun and it's like metal clanging kapag gumagalaw yun.

[afrasay]

check mo yun fender bolts mo if masikip lahat. baka sa body flex nanggagaling yun tunog na yun.

[bratski]

artpogi,
Iba yung tunog from the brake clips, usually naririnig yun pag paatras tapos pag abante tutunog yun pag brake. Tried lifting the vehicle and shaking the wheels narin pero no sound.
afrasay,
Yan nalang hindi ko pa nagagawa,baka nga may loose bolts sa fender.
I had an alignment done and hindi na gaano lumabas yung tunog kasi naisip ko baka nababanat yung mga tie rods pag akyat baba ng suspension pag wala sa alignment. But kanina lang when i had a tire change sa tireboy pag baba ng ramp tapos turning left, exakto sa dulo ng ramp parang may kanal,ayun lumabas na naman yung sound. Kung hindi talaga mahanap magpapalit nalang ako ng tie rods

anung balita sir? nasolusyunan mo na?

[squala]

Try Cruven. Mr. Claro himself is hands-on when it comes to stuff like this. Siya mismo nakahanap nung kalampag ko na hindi naman nakita ng iba.

Visit their website for their locations and contact numbers.

Hmm akin din sa right front, happens at very low speed pag slight turn ng right over a bump or even a 3" rock or something, once lang yung tok parang may nagbato ng malaking bato sa underchassis mo...

Sa Corolla ko dati ganun sa likod, sira stab link, eto di ko alam ngayon kung ano.
