Rm8k Wira & Jazz GK5 ownership experience-A long way to go

[gunnerzz]

wahhh.....I haven't use for 1 year and start got sound weh.....
Haiyaaaa........also a common for wira? Lagi haiyaaaaa

Not a common problem for wira lah..
Common problem for all old cars.

Better check properly before changing.
On my Waja, no sound at all but vibrate at certain speed under load. When i release gas pedal, no vibration.

Yes u can change one side only. That is, if u did not discover that the other side oso got torn rubber boot...hihihi.

I just diy change my BLM subframe (too bad i did not take any picture to share ) mount only to also see the rear axle bush oso penyek while laying under the car.

Oh my....that I really didn't go and check. I juz bought it and slam it to the car. Drive shaft can chg only one side right? No need 2 side also chg right?

I doubt if it's drive shaft related. Sounds more like absorber mounts

Now turning anything didn't have any noise. Juz when going through yellow line & rough surface above 50km/h the sound come up. Other than that drive fine.

clicking? rattling? creaking?

Yup,the csr comes with a front strut bar when purchase. How does it affects the mounting?

And I shake both of my drive shaft only the driver side is making sound the other one is stable and didn't make any noise.

From my exp, it can neither be too tight or too loose. Too loose u will lost your bolt. Too tight u will get vibration.

from my own experience leave it stock. A lightened crank pulley makes it rev really fast and the decelleration (engine braking and all) is drastically lighter. Really annoying mod. All the extra speed revving and slowing down with none of the benefits. It totally changes the way you drive your car and it's just not beneficial in my opinion.

And what 4G15 do you have? MMC LCPs are available but the VDO ones are super duper rare. Plus if you do get the LCP you'll need to get one with a reinforced center sleeve cuz the full alu ones will deform after a while cuz no dampening.
