get to know the basics of your car. you should then be able to tell when a mechanic is talking crap. finally, if you wish to receive constructive comments here, please be more detailed with your problem description. it tells us you've done your homework before seeking help.

Hello Mizhan,

Go easy on the kid lah! Not everyone here are mechanically sound. And from my own experience with other drivers (of any make of cars), most are just that.....drivers. I would say about 10% actually know how a car works and less know how to troubleshoot a defect. As a result most get "taken" by unscrupulous mechanics.
Ok, back to the car. Ejat, if your car's long shaft (which has the thickness of my arm) "pecah" you would have lost all the drive from your engine. The shaft connects your gearbox output to the rear wheels, more accurately, the differential.
Take your car to see Mizhan or his mechanic. Or if you wish I can have a look at your car too. Most probably it is a bearing or bush that has worn and in need of replacement.

I agree with mizhan:top:, most nube are shooting blanks and expect good answers or response from others. :stupid:To gain assistance from other fellow forumers one needs to know or rather able to at least share specific problem that they are facing. Take time to explain the problem and detail out their issues as much as possible. Please bear in mind that we are doing it remotely online and others cant really view or experience the problem unless its being detailed out. There onwards, maybe someone with a similar problem or with an idea on how to go about would share their experience.

thanks guys for yr constructive opinion. i realy appreciate it,

More importantly, have you traced where the noise is coming from in your car? Do get it seen to before it gets worse. It might just be a bearing about to fail now but if you wait too long it might lead to other problems.....much costlier.
