Bro, if the sound is ngek ngek from left rear side, and you have changed bump stopper, bush and absorber, then the sound is coming from the metal clamp which secures the brake cable.

Refer to 1st page "Owner's Tips - If your car got "kluk kluk" sound when go through speed breaker, ask SC to change the bumper stopper (More pictures) (Parts Number: Front:MN502436 Rear:MN502437) (A SURE FIX BY ckk125!) - (A SURE FIX BY ckk125!) - http://forum.lowyat.net/uploads/attach-53/...33059_thumb.jpg

see the pic, see the metal clamp securing the brake cable and over the rubber cover....the clamp is the issue. Design fault, clamp cant be used to secure the cable over the rubber cover...due to movement over bumps, rubber cover contract and expand, the movement is causing the ngek ngek sound

Solution: Remove the metal clamp and use cable tie to tie the brake cable to car body (area where the metal clamp screw is secured to car body).

I did the above and eliminated ngek ngek sound 100%.

Hope this helps

so actually its not Proton's fault, just the technicians are not skilled enuf to properly identify where the sound is coming from

To find sound, it takes alot of patience and trial and error. Foreman, especially those working under authorized service centers are trained to only trouble shoot the 'common' problems. To find uncommon problems, you have to engage your own personal foreman who can help to eliminate the causes via trial and error. This applies to all car makes ... Honda, Toyota and etc

yes, we are also paying RM1.90/ltr for fuel, UK pay GBP1.80 (or 5x more)
UK has TIV of >2 Mil, malaysia ~600k
UK population = 63 Mil, Malaysia = 28 Mil

To put into perspective, SGP COE alone now is SGD100k

each economy has its own balances, its not apple to apple comparison

ok ill take a pic tomorow and upload

I tried the method of using superlon foam to cover the cable and then use the metal clamp to secure, after 1 week the ngek ngek sound came back. Thats why i totally remove the metal clamp. From my experiment, no point to tighten the metal clamp hard hard at all, the culprit was the rubber cover which is expanding and contracting

YEs thx to CKK for identifying this issue!!!
