it really is of great help, bro, if the owner had the car sense kasi most mechanics defer to the owner or driver's diagnosis.

bakit hindi shims/anti-rattle clip brader?

sabagay, cheaper na rin yung welding. i suppose. kaso iniisip ko lang yung adhesive sa brake lining baka nagbago ang ugali sa tindi ng init ng welding. or some other effects.

Oo, ang clip fills the gap/void between the brake pad & caliper bracket/support. Kapag wala ito at ang shim, may ingay na maririnig sa rough cement/asphalt road. Kadalasan, di ito naibabalik ng mga negligent na mekaniko kapag nagpapalit ng brake pads, & they usually say na, "okey lang 'yan kahit wala".

i have a similar untraceable source of kalampag or knock too this time on our a/t 2.0 fd naman

in my ride's case, the knocking sound makes itself be apparent whenever i'm maneuvering slowly (aka maniobra) at very slow speeds - usually when i'm positioning the car either to exit or enter a parking slot. sometimes the kalampag can also be heard when the car isn't moving pa while i'm directing the wheels to whichever direction i want the car to go. but when the car is already in motion - above say, 5 kph - the knocking noise is no longer there. like the ts, i've changed all sorts of suspension part bits already (both replacement and oem) and yet it's still there.

btw, naka electronic power steering wheel iyong kotse at mukhang ok pa naman iyong system na iyon kasi wala naman check steering wheel light (not sure if it's called as such hehe) umiilaw sa cluster gauge

so if you guys can give me an idea what the possible culprit is prior to visiting a suspension specialist that would be a big help.

thanks!

Hard to say but it could be your tie rod and ball joints. Baka kailangang i-repack?

san kuba nabasa, na itong kotseng ito, ay may kababalaghang engine mount..?
that the engine mount sometimes wears out faster than industry standard..? and it makes a peculiar sound when it gets worn..?
