What's with the takatak?

[KALAMPAG]

Anyone nakaexperience na sa inyo when turning the wheels - i mean full turning the car would make tak-tak-tak-tak sound.

The scenario:

From full stop, full-turned the wheel to the left and begin accelerate then I hear the annoying sound above until mawawala lang if i straighten the wheels and go straight ahead. The faster i turn the noisier.

Ano kaya problema?

my guess is velocity joint..

CV joints iyan (aka velocity joints). Usually papalitan na iyan, hindi na pwede daanin sa repack.

It's not a very expensive procedure. Aside from the CV, you will also need new boots and axle grease.

I'll check the CV joints then.

Well, I'll be damned.. searched/found a similar car with a similar problem..

To think na pumunta lang ako para paayos cv joint ko at mag-pa-reface. Heheh.. Anyway, pinapakiramdaman ko pa kung ok gawa nila since Saturday and since they gave me 3 mo. gaurantee. Sabi kc nung mayari nung shop.. try na muna nila i-repair kc sayang naman mga original parts tska mas mura na alternative kaysa sa mga replacements. If problem persists dalhin na lang sa kanila ulit to replace na un joint free labor.

What do you guys think???

OT: Nakakainis talaga ninakawan na naman ako ng side mirror this morning!!! Grrrrr...

[OTEP]

I think dapat pinapalitan mo na agad yung CV joint instead of having him do all those services (some of which might have been needed in the first place).

But that's just me.

[KALAMPAG]

Hmmm.. you think so sir Otep? D rin kc ako ka-confident dun sa solusyon or should i say remedyo. Papakiramdaman ko na lang. Worst case pede mangyari would be masira ng tuluyan un joint and d na makaandar un sasakyan.

Thanks for your opinion.

Para sakin masokay kung palit na lang agad kaysa sa repair or repack.

Mahirap na kasi pag yan ang bumigay eh..lalo na sa suspension pa yan.
