Steerling Noise

<< < (2/3) > >>

VAGs:
I assume the noise sounds like "tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok" when you are turning your steering wheel at very low speed. The tok noise is consistant and the faster you turn your steering wheel the closer the frequency between the "tok _tok". The noise becomes more when your car or one of your wheel is on an inclination. And if you drive the car, on the move, there's no noise. If that's the case, No, nothing to do with your steering assembly which includes your steering rack and pinion assembly, tie rod and ball joint, steering column. It is the strut mount bearing and coil spring rubbing each other. No safety concern unless there is a knocking sound when you brake. For those guys who lower their cars with a slightly worn bearing, the noise is even more prominent. Don't waste your money rectifying the fault. If you intend to, go and replace the strut mount, replace the shock absorber at the same time. Don't do a double job next time. Anyway shock absorbers lasts about 50000km and their damping forces drop drastically. For those cars above this mileage, it's about time anyway. The KYB dampers are not bad. Cheap too.

thanks all bro and sis for the feed back , i though only mine got this problem , TAN Cheong / Nissan  should solve this problem for us , don't like the same as Toyota only when accident happen then they really looke into this , sometime i just wonder whether the steerling will just give way when driving high speed in high way , don't body will know right , Just curious why they know this is manufacture fault and yet they still don't change it and still selling this model again , if they realy want to sell again they should solve this problem . and also they should give us extended warranty for this problem , otherwise after change for six month or one year this problem come back again . :crycry: :crycry:

Buyers i doubt know about this problem before purchase so only become victims once they own their Latio

I don't think there's words going around that Latio has this problems, so probably sales are not affected hence the reason why they're not rushing to fix it ?

My ride's 4 years old, 90K millage, lowered & with 17" rims so probably thats why i can feel and hear it far too well

Doubt like what many say its a safety issue. Probably just got to live with it  :crycry:

I bought my latio 2nd hand. Within one year of owner ship, change 2 times.

Happens usually when u full-lock your steering wheel - likely during parking, doing U-turn etc....

After u change the parts, next time u doing U turn try not to turn the steering until the end which u can hear the sound. This will shorten the lifespan of the coupling. It needs practice to gauge whether yr steering is reaching the end a not.
