[QUOTE="advocates, post: 597586, member: 2650"] Got my car back from Optimum. The suspension noise is due to the PU control arm bush! :( Loved the way the car handled and the increased braking efficiency with the PU control arm bush. However, never like creaking or squeeking sounds. So Optimum replaced the brand new PU Bush with meyle's control arm bush. No more noise. Replaced the oil filter housing gasket and fan belt idle pulley. Costs Oil filter housing gasket RM47 Fan belt idle pulley RM106 Control arm bush RM350 Labour RM130 Total (plus service tax) RM640.80 Forgot to add, when I first got the car, previous owner replaced the centre muffler with a locally made muffler. Sounded boomy and lost of mid end torque. Managed to secure a very good condition ori exhaust from the CAT right to the rear muffler at RM1100 from chop shop. Depending on the selling price, new owner can have extra CAT and rear muffler. [/QUOTE]
