"Lagutok" on the front driver side when driving for more than 30 mins

[perfectstranger]

Hi guys, I'm having the problem as described in the title. Basically when the car was driven for some time (around 45 mins) I will start hearing "tok-tok-tok..." sounds when the road is uneven, hard brake or sudden acceleration, and driving over humps. The volume starts low then it gets louder and more frequent. I brought it to two different car shops already but both mechanics did not find anything wrong. My guess is the culprit is most likely one of the parts made of rubber since the sound becomes audible when the car has been driven for some time, thus the heat may have an effect on that particular component.

Maybe someone had a similar experience before and can share some of their ideas? I'm living in paranaque by the way, in case there is a good auto shop that you can recommend.

Thanks!

It could be myriad of things:

Engine mount
Tie rod ends
Stabilizer joints
Shock mounts
Shock absorber
CV joints (if FWD)
Brake pads

What car make/model/year?

hello oj88. my car is honda city type Z 2002 model.

If you can't locate the noise, find a shop that has a multi-channel automotive noise finder, such as pictured below.



Unfortunately, I know of only Honda Mindanao Ave. that has this. Call first to confirm availability and cost of the service.

Yung sa adventure namin parang ganyan din minsan e. Pero parang wala naman problem kasi 3 years ng ganun yun.

Same case with a friend of mine. Pasilip mo stabilizer joints. Un ang pinalitan sa kanya nawala lagutok. Honda car din. Hope it helps.

Have the CV Joint checked. Have it done the soonest as it might fall apart
