Latio Suspension advice? Bumpy ride
hermis:
hi all, after reading so much abt the latio suspension problem by all owners here, i wish to share mine as well. My ride got this problem when u turn your steering, the front will have a very loud "tong" sound.after a few complains made to TCM, they assess that it is due to my front coil spring responsed slower when i turned, when caused the sound. ( wonder if any bro here experience this pro ) what tcm do was to take out my coil spring and re-position it. initially it was still fine, till recently it happen again and i go back complain and also about the rear soft suspension hitting the kerb. so tcm replace all my coil spring, both front and rear. till now, the front suspension still have the 'tong' sound but not so loud, maybe will go complain if i m free.okie the main thing about changing the front coil to so called the 'improve' version is my steering become abit heavier and harder to steer in a relax manner and the car look a bit weired now :ohmy:,looks like a SUV, cos my ride is on a 15" rim.will monitor a while and see how.wondering if my car is one of the odds to be batch problem. :confused1:

ya, thought the 'tong' sound is due to steering coupling. I have this soft 'tong tong' sound when turning, got the steering coupling changed and the noise is gone. But TCM never re-center my steering wheel.. :mad: :mad:

Hi, which service center u went to? and which SA? Actually I was thinking install stiffener at first, after reading your story, think I will get TCS to change the rear spring to Japan version. So what did they changed? springs or absorbers ?

Hi Gone with the wind,
I just called TCM Bukit Timah. They denied such an arrangment and part exist. Can you share with me more details such as the name of the SA, service centre, etc? I have dropped a PM message to you.
I would like to see my rear suspension improved man.
Thanks v much in advance,
Alan

hi maxngck,it is not due to steering coupling.i have replaced the "new improve version" during my 30k servicing but the sound is still there. yes if u compare a normal original spring with mine, my front looks more lifted up hence a wider gap between the wheel and wheel arch..tempting to upsize to 17" to fill the gap :yehyeh: i will try to take a pix.. :smile:
