Thanks for sharing, but not really understand this - The lower rubber/plate compartments are easily loosen, any photo to share?

Very hard to describe. No photo to show. Once I went over a puddle of water and a rubber part from below the car just came out. The portion by the tyre, the plate from behind the lower bumper is loose. Might happened when I went over high bumpers. Just check all the fittings to ensure all is intact.

Go for Michelin PS3 although higher cost but it's worth  smile.gif

I'm planning to change the tyres too. How much is the Michelin PS3 each?

Go to Hin Leong, Klang. Their prices are unbeatable. I replaced my Michelin PSS with Goodyear Assy 2 in Nov last year for only RM2,950 (4 tyres, allignment, balancing, valves). The tyres were Jan 2013 tyres. But well worth the price if u ask me. More quiet than PSS for sure but in terms of performance, the PSS is unmatched.

Both the PSS and Assy 2 are manufactured in Germany.

I'm looking at Goodyear now too. Aiming either the Assy 2 or Directional 5. Does Assy 2 last long?

Not sure. I just started using in Nov last year. But wear and tear depends mainly on how you drive. What tyre u using now?

My steering wheel got some clicking sound ("tak" "tak" "tak") when I turn the wheels. When going over the bump feels like the steering wheel clicking as well. It happens after I have not driven the car for 2 weeks. Anyone faced this issue before? Is it because of the car's suspension or alignment issue?

Just settled my knocking sound on the steering wheel. Some decoupling parts spoilt, apparently a common issue. Under warranty still, so no charges for the change
