Message: <blockquote data-quote="gunnerzz" data-source="post: 1064741566" data-attributes="member: 166532">[ATTACH=full]582331[/ATTACH]Hi guys, Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslim.Be safe, stay safe this Raya period.Just to share, a friend of mine called me a week before Raya to pay me as a plumber so i accepted the job. He took the oppoturnity and ask me to drive his wife Viva to try and see whats wrong with it. After a short drive i said there is just too musch wrong with it that selling the car is the best option. Among things i detected;1.all engine mounting shot2.auto gearbox slipping3.either the brake pistons are jammed or the brake pins are, or both4.front absorber shot5.noises and freeplay at front end which could be lower arm or tie rod or rack end or absorber or absorber mounting or arb link or worst...all of the above..After he managed to pursuade me to 'have a look' i took the car last friday and start dismantling. My advice is to replace;1.lower arm2.rack end3.arb link4.absorber mount5.absorber + spring6.caliper pinHow hard can it be right?To remove the lower arm require the subframe to be dropped slightly and removing nuts and bolts on a car with 620k km mileage is super hard...few bruises and cuts on my knuckle. I do have a work glove but the working area is so oily that i decided not to dirty my still new gloves.The absorber bolts at the knuckle require pipe extension to be looses, the caliper pins rubber bush broke and stuck in the slider, very tight space to loosen the absorber mount nuts. Ah..i also had to buy a rack end remover and another socket extension.Btw, parts alone cost just slightly below RM900 not including the additional tools.Just completed installation last night and the front end feels tighter by a lot. Just need to do allignment and replace a stud at the front left knuckle...bloody tire shop my friend goes to uses impact till the thread stripped.What do i gain?Just some cash in term of labour but a lot of experience.So much experience that i wont accept similar job in the future...hahahah.Now its on to shoppe to find an electric cordless impact or an aircompressor with air impact wrench...hmm...</blockquote>
