The sound appear during turning. Can easily hear the sound clearly when car stop & just turning the steering.

Bump:

Does it happen when you turn almost full lock? aka U-turns?, I use to have a knocking sound..mechanic said its was my drive-shaft, however it cured itself several days later.

Hey do you install grouding & voltage stabilizer on your car? It might help & get the car more stable.
Have you do any modification on your car yet? If yes, might to share what did you mod?:driver:

Hey friend,

How much you got the "vacum controller" installed?
Yup, I read from forum some of the ZTH member did installed it. Some will good feedback some are not! So I am thinking to get one as well.
The said go for "FICD" Fast Idle Control Device.... But are your's is the FICD??????
For this few days, the weird sound gone... I might need to see further it might come back neh.
I replaced the ori plug cable with "Pro Ralley High Performance Plug Cable" added with Bosch Super4 spark plug..... Can feel that the car gainning some power compared to previous with ori spark plug & plug cable.

Might wanna to try out the Pivot Voltage Stabilizer with grounding as well.
Any advise or suggestion?:driver:

My 3 year old Wira SE also got sound very soft "tak tak tak" sound when turning from a standstill especially if the ground not perfectly flat
Mechanic said not the drive-shaft, tested doing U-turn million of times until almost puke but no sound came out
He said maybe the stabilizer suspension related :hmmmm:

U know what, da funny (or scary) thing was whenever I bring my car to the workshop the tak-tak-tak sound disappear!
Maybe my car "MERAJUK" when I said "Wow that new Satria Neo looks cool man! I must get CPS GTi R3 version someday!"
Nowadays even car got feelings...

Yeah the crap ECU, I was desperate back then to get rid off my Kancil R85 GTR
MyVi had to wait 6 months, so I opt for Wira so called Special Edition :confused:
Within budget la bro

No other theory yet for the tak-tak-tak sound, very frustrating man! 2 years warranty expired already, damn!

Maybe your steering spoke got a problem.. the sound screeching comes from the horn steel connection for horn system,,, put some oil lubricant at the aluminum would be just fine.. I think..
hope this helps..:idea:

Viostar, for your problem. Here is my experience... It's most probably is the power steering pump got problem. What i do is service the pump with changing the power steering kit, it include some o-ring. oil seal etc.... Main problem is all the rubber kit harden. only the kit itself cost less <rm100.. good luck.

Hehe just got back my 73k service.

My mechanic the "tak-tak-tak" sound comes from a knuckle twisting (when we steer) located under the adjustable steering, but the damn whole cover set must be taken off to see it clearly.

Time consuming, I've become fedup :sleep: & went home, so to be continued...
