Front right kruk kruk kruk noise

[Supachip]

When driving on bumpy road, my car tends to have kruk kruk kruk noise from the front right suspension.

Foreman jacked up the car and shaked the wheel but found nothing's wrong.

He can't feel any freeplay on the wheel.

Anyone knows why? Would lower arm bush be the problem?

Without freeplay on wheel but still got the noise how to check?

Thanks,

best way is to jack up the car, take out the wheel and inspect the bushings, lower arm ball joint, arb link, absorber etc..

i find that most mechs are very lazy to do this.. until now i cannot find the cause of my tuk tuk sound

actually it's hard to determine problem caused by sound. Only speculations can be made from here. The only best way is to have someone drive ur car and hear the 'kruking' sound to detect what it is.

From what u describe, only hear on bumpy road... I speculate spring and absorber problem. Try spray WD40 to the absorber shaft and then drive on bumpy road to hear if the sound is still here. Maybe the absorber shaft got dirty.

i have this problem also.

the cause is from the lowered spring which i cut 1 roll to make it even with the rear spring.

reason for the noise is that the spring is not fit nicely in the absorber 'mangkuk' anymore bcoz i already cut it.

if u use rim 17 maybe 16 must be sound like that try use 13 or 14 or 15 the sound maybe not...

Front right absorber mounting... check it 1st. Mine used to be like this until I upgraded to Titan pillowball mount.

I fixed the problem already. Tech had checked all bushes, checked freeplay on the arms and driveshaft but no freeplay at all.

Hence, I decided to check by myself.

Lastly, I've noticed that there's a crack on the absorber upper mounting's rubber (visible through the engine compartment). After replacing the upper mounting, problem solved. Happy with the result now.
