The play demonstrated on the video is the in-out motion. I get that a bit of a play is normal, but I was curious as to whether, whatever that normal level of play is, when wiggled in-out, would it be sufficient to produce the level of sound audible the video. Also, to highlight, the other side...

A while ago, I made a desperate post about a sound coming from the front of my car. A couple of days ago, I mustered both the courage and tools to diagnose that myself. Unlike I originally suspected, the suspension strut looks OK, but I accidentally spotted some play on the drive shaft: here's a...

I've to replace an outdoor floodlight. The wire that's coming out of my wall is flat; and the one for the new floodlight is cylindrical. And I want a waterproof junction that can connect them both. See pictures. Can someone suggest the best waterproof connectors and junction box types that I...

That's what I'm gearing up for, before I give up!

Yes they were. Some, I bought myself and handed over. I got a chance to see them all at the last garage.

It's not that I'm keen on doing this circuit. Every garage washed their hands off it after they replaced their favourite part. What can I do? I never tell the garages upfront about money or time constraints. If money wasn't an incentive in itself, if they're true to their craft, I'd have hoped...

The latest garage that I took the car to, the mechanic tells me that he drove around without the anti-roll bar but the sound was still there. He also needlessly replaced the drop link. The inner tie rod had some play on it (he demonstrated that to me), so that was replaced, too.

What I've personally done is to listen to it from the inside, while driving the car. The sound, audibly comes from the suspension, when going over uneven surfaces, as I mentioned in the original post. But, as also mentioned, many of the stuff around it have already been replaced.

Does anyone know somewhere they've this type of machine: - something that gives the suspension a vertical treatment?

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

The last mechanic I've been to, replaced the drop link unnecessarily. When I took the car back, probably out of guilt, he took in the car for week doing checks (on his own time, he said). He invited me to the back, with the car on the lift, showed me prying on all kinds of places, including the...

Make: Suzuki Model: Swift Year: Swift 2011 Mileage: 40k I'm posting this out of utter desperation. My car has a long-standing knocking noise apparently coming from the front passenger side suspension, when I drive over any kind of uneven surface. The car handles fine; and there's no noise when...
