"klik kok" sound forn rear axle

[tkew]

Hi bro, started two weeks ago some funny " klik klok" from my rear axle, sure it not from the diff coz M Perf mech have chk, they claim the sound is from the bush of the rear apper arm. For me the sound like some lose part on the rear axle, can this be the drive shaft ? or Aybody experience this ? Sound more noticable at low speed but at higher speed no sound, sure something is wrong, please anyone care to share their exp... thanks

bro tkew... mayb the axle or the gearbox too much free play... wats ur mileage? anything below 100k drive shaft shld not b the prob.... i had it too n it was due to too much freeplay with my gearbox... sent it in 4 times b4 it was rectified.

good luck..

i had that sound too....audible when the car is slow, somewhere rear left.

read in the forum elsewhere, could be the absorber mounting as well..

my mileage is about 50++miles, what do u all sifus recommend to change for wear and tear?

yup...it's the absorber mounting... :nyehehe:

just check the absober mounting it is still in good condition change last year, so be something else

I had the klok klok sound a few years back and it turned out to be the absorber mounting... Sometimes its not installed correctly instead of wear, and doesnt cost a lot to fix but makes a big difference driving the car without the pesky noise.

Absorber mounting change last year doesnt mean this year cannot broke.

I changed over 3 times already the Rear Absorber mounting.

Thats BMW. Want Reliability go Toyota.

Already chk the absober mounting no problem still looks ok , first thing the mech chk at m performance, they say is the arm bushing problem.

i had this " klik klok" sound from rear, my mech also claim that the sound is come from the bush of the rear upper/lower arm. he said the bush is cheap, but take time to change it..

bro, r u regular at M-performance Mayang? I just went there today. I give them THUMB UP for their effort and determination, Altnough they cannot solve the klik.....klok sound on the left hand rear side, i would say they already did their best and even I also give up with the sound. The young boss did not charge me a single sen on labour for 5 hours job. He assigned the fat mechanic to find the sound and he actually attended my car for pure 5 hours without fixing other cars or even going for lunch. He basically canibalised the whole car to find the sound but cannot find (but i know they did their best). GREAT BOSS and staff...... :yahoo:

bro mouse n tkew... if the lower arm n bushings hv no prob... there are a few more factors.
1) rear axle
2) drive shaft (check both sides)
3) gearbox.

my klik klok was bcoz of gearbox... luckyly under warranty. but another way is to change gearbox oil n try... hope this will help

cheers

 

[tkew]

yes they did the same thing on mine also, they say is the arm rubber bush only can change if take out all the link and arms, the rear end part. so just give up....lah
Should go back to give them give them some business in future...it is also miko clinic for LW...................... :yahoo: :yahoo:
