Right suspension making strange noise in bumpy road?

Postby subarugt » Mon Mar 01, 2010 7:00 pm

Today I suddenly notice some strange noise coming from the front right suspension or maybe somewhere front right side of the car? It only happens in bumpy road. The sound is kinda like metal touching metal and little bit like sound of a mouse.

It never happen before. I was using [I] Mode when this happen. I will try to go out and try to use S and S# mode later see if the noise still happens in bumpy road.

maybe something is loose?

Perhaps the car is complaining about being in the restrained I mode? :D But if it's only happening over bumps perhaps check the front sway bar?

Otherwise, why is this in the 'Bling Me Up' section?

sorry did i post this in the wrong section?

I just come back from testing the car in I and S mode it all happen the same. the noise happens when road is bumpy i think it's the right front wheel. I will go back to the dealer tomorrow and ask them for warranty I guess. this is very strange noise and it's not normal..
The my10 GT comes with sway bar?

Could be a lose strut mount (on top of the tower) this will give you metallic thud noise on bumps.

Could be the sway bar or end link attached to the sway bar.

If it rattles the dash board when it happens, I would suggest the strut mount. Don't tighten it yourself unless you know what you are doing, over tightening these will strip the thread and bye bye warranty

thanks for info. I won't do anything myself. I booked it in for warranty next week. I was told that some my10 gt got this same problem too?

Should I stop driving it until i get it serviced next week? or doesn't matter?
