DC5 Technical Problems/Issues

[NFS]

After more than 1 year owning the car my door locked giving me problem. Changed the lock gun for RM300 (damn expensive ... dunno kena con or what) then ok already

Now my passenger side got sound like absorber kong ... take out tires check absorber A okay! look at the front arm bushing ... got 'koyak' like that ...

Thinking of Superpro ... anybody have experience using them? Where to get? Installation?

I was quoted 2k plus for all those small and funny little bushing for 4 corners of the vehicle at Hokomoto(or some moto) @ batu caves. Or u can ask jerry.

i don't think I'm gonna replace all ... 1 section at a time ... :)

But in your case ... your car can beat concorde already ... so better replace all la ... ehehhe

Cool will call Jerry then but if anyone have any info ... do post it up!

Azad-san,

Get Energy Suspension Master Bushing kit. Cheaper, and it replaces the VITAL bushings only. I dont think its necessary to change the whole bushing to PU coz the car will greatly be stiffened. (I changed my EF trailing arm bush to SuperPro and the car became tail happy coz its too stiff! scary.)

So instead of investing RM2,000+ for SuperPro, why dont you get this one instead, for less than RM1,000 (with tax etc):

Bro, before concluding it's your bushing problem, try checking your front disc brake calipers first.

Last time I had sounds coming from the front, sounds exactly like suspension kong sound, metal hitting metal sound, checked my absorbers all still ok, even took out ARB, changed to other absorbers, checked the bushings, sound still there.
Finally I went to see my mechanic in malacca, straight away he pin pointed it's my front disc brake calipers, he replicated the sound by moving the calipers while i sat in the car, exactly that sound. Metal hitting metal sound. It sounds exactly like suspension/bushing kong sound. He tightened the clip, and no more sound until now.

Just sharing my experience so you wont end up paying 1K and the sound still there.

hi mr slick,
did the sound appear after you changed the absorber? i got a similar sound (not on a dc5 though).. and my mech said it is the arb hitting the body. the sound appears right after i changed the absorbers & springs and i have already change arb bushings and links before that. might go to another workshop to get a second opinion and check the calipers as well.

me also have 'kang ' kang' sound at the rear..no idea..bushing..exhaust..or absorber...demmm but only can hear when drive slowly 20km/h with bumpy road...

Sound appeared out of the blue. Was using stock absorbers.
The culprit was the brake pad springs not tight enough.

If your bush is done, don't change to PU. Change to hard rubber or OEM.

Friends,

I want to know you all gear box ratio. Mine at gear 6, 3500 rpm speed 100km/h. Is that normal. I'm now hunting final drive 4.4. Cannot tahan drive long distance at high rpm.

Regards,
Wan.
