Kalampag Problem (Front Wheel)

[peter]

:confused: I'm having problems with the kalampag of my car. By the way, it's a Corolla GL 16-Valve (AE92).
Ngpa check na ko ng pang ilalim, Ball joints, Tire Rod Ends, Suspension Etc. Pnagawa ko na rin last week yung Steering Column Bushing ko but then na minimize lang ang kalampag.

What seems to be my car's problem?

Guy's, can you please help me out:confused:

na check din ba ang engine support mo?

[peter]

Yah, actually bago lahat Engine support ko.
I also had my Cross Joint checked, Ok pa naman, wala pang alog.

Shock absorber bushings?

[peter]

I don't think so, sa steering ko na fi-feel kase, but i'll try to check on that. According to one of my mekaniko, natural problem na daw ng Corolla yun coz it's not the Power Steering type. Pero hindi pa rin. I really wanted to trace that problem.

Tx Ungas for your advise.

wheel balancing?

[artpogi]

baka naman sobra matigas ang tires mo. check ur tire pressure too.

[peter]

Well, I also tried to check all my tires, ok naman pressure nya coz i'm maintaining the required air pressure (28 psi).

Baka yung Shock Absorber mismo? Minsan kasi kapag sira na ito tumutunog na.

[peter]

Actually, I also had it checked, ok pa naman daw. I can feel it sa steering wheel everytime i drive. Minsan there's a "Tok" sound.

I'm really having a hard time, i really get irritated everytime i hear or feel that.

Checked steering rack? How about pitman and idler arm?

[ARB]

sa steering rack siguro, does it feel like something is not fastened well. sa service ng bank na corolla before ganyan din sa steering rack ang problema.

Peter,

My car is a Lancer and don't know much about Toyota, but from the way you described the problem ("TOK" sa steering wheel) it seems pareho tayo ng problem ko noon.

In my case the culprit is the coupling at the base of the steering column. The Lancer's steering column coupling is not replaceable, (the whole column should be replaced) so what I did is have the coupling spot welded sa steering column and nawala na yung "TOK" sound.

Now my suggestion is have your steering column coupling checked, normally inaalog nila yung base ng steering column to check it, there should be no play kapag inalog or have the steering column dismounted (madali lang yan) so you can thoroughly inspect it.

In some cars, like some models of Honda, napapalitan ang coupling lang, maybe pwede din sayo na coupling lang ang papalitan and not the whole column.

HTH.

di kya, baka bato lang na tumalsik sa ilalim ng car mo yun?
"tok" din ang sound nun.

try mo din sa vc joint, kpag sira na ksi yun, may "tok" sound din lalu na kapag lumiliko ka.

peter:::check/replace your rack and pinion and steering bushing. yun corolla xl big body ko (nakita mo yun diba?) yun lang ang madalas pinapalitan. Twice ko napalitan yon during the 3 1/2 yrs that it's been with me. The first is when it was still under warranty and the second before I sold it.

[peter]

I already had my steering bushing column replaced 2 weeks ago.
Have'nt check the Rack & Pinion. Sometimes, i'm really wondering, bigla naman sya nawawala lalo na pag smooth ang takbo nya. Anyway, i'll be considering your suggestions and thanks a lot for the advise.
