My old satria face the same problem before. the wheelhouse which mount the absorber has been cracked from the wall due a couple time accidents and make an annoying sound. So I take the extreme solution.. Find a mivec front 'bangkai' take the wheelhouse and front frame, replace and welded back to my car..
Unfortunately when I go to puspakom to do B5 inspection (change name/sell car) they spot the difference under my carriage between the original body and the new wheelhouse, and my car not pass.. They ask me to PG10 at main state JPJ to do more throughly technical inspection..
So from my experience, if you really want to do this, please find a very experience workshop to do the job. Put a tar or thick black antitrust below your car after and make sure ur engine bay body use the same color as the rest of ur car.
