I've yet to play with these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it as car character and get used to it. Seen people replace lots of components and still have driveline/suspension noises.Better to invest money on sound deadening the cabin.

If not, there is no gaurantees...and too bad so sad lol Idk if these cars are like that (being Aussie taxis)...they aren't up to quality build specs like jap cars or euro cars.I have that many creaks, clunks, bs noises...and yeah its embarassing sometimes; but just press the loud pedal and remember the reason why you bought this car! Lol I would take your car to a trusted Pedders store in your state...they do a $28 inspection (Pit Lane Plus or some sh*t); and they go over suspension, brakes, etc. So if there is anything obvious...they should be able to spot it and write it down in your report.Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to Joe at CMS who was extremely helpful over the phone. He said the same thing as you - to book a 28$ pedders check as noises, etc such as these can be a nightmare to locate and can cost you an arm and a leg in trying to fix it without having a proper look at the car. I've booked in my local pedders down the road where I live at moorebank to look at it. Has anyone dealt with pedders moorebank on newbridge road? Oh and one more thing. I dont have a f****** clue how I cant find the key to my lock nut. My mechanic that did the bushes SPECIFICALLY told me to take a photo of the serial number on it. Of course I didnt and of course I cant find the nut. I remember trying to put it in the service manual zip up book and that not being able to fit. What I did after that is a complete mystery. ffs!!!!!! Edited 15/01/15 10:47 PM by 2009fgxr6t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure where to find factory alignment numbers.Ive uploaded my latest alignment numbers and was wondering if anyone would be able to suggest a reason why the camber is uneven on the front axles? Would this cause a pull to the left?http://imageshack.com/a/img633/7374/71Yl8e.jpgIm thinking that the squeak and the allignment issue are somewhat related.By the way, the car is lowered at pedders by the previous owner, if that helps. 2 Pedders Coil springs and 2 pedders sportsryder coil springs.

Definitely no where near as often when im cruising, mostly when breaking, going downhill, stop start driving on flat/uphill road etc.Just when I was about to give up, I parked my car in my driveway (flat), got out of the car and pushed down on the floor of the passenger side to bounce the car and what do you know - the noise happend every time I pushed down on the floor of the passenger seat.

Happens a bit to the drivers seat. Edited 16/01/15 12:01 PM by OZYWALKER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
