Maybe another 5 to 10k km more I change the absorber. Mount was changed 40k km ago.

Only during corners, straight all no sound. So it can't be brakes.

hahah...I need to find a bag of money 1st...lol

ok ok. terbalik from myvi. myvi cornering braking so no sound even rough road but straight road no brake rough road make noise.

May I know where did you get yours changed? I have the same issue as yours as well, when cornering there will be this "clok" sound no matter the speed.

At last found the "clok" sound at corners over uneven ground, less then 5mins my fren workshop found the culprit. The steering rack bush slight play. Only at the extreme corner the steering rack have free play. So when lower arm flex, the steering rack will rock left and right a bit. Then the "clok clok" sound will come.

Turn your tyre to the right extreme, then with a big and long screw driver try to move the steering rack. Watch for any free play at the mounting of the rack.

That is why I always go back to my fren for any headache troubleshoot. He is well experienced. Unlike normal shop.

So now I bought silicone 3 pieces steering bush. Hopefully next week can fit. Also, will install my rear absorbers already used RS ultra for 80k km on rear.

number plate longgar

can recommend me where your friend workshop ah? tq

Leong Kam Fatt ....go google map.....beside Dsara Sentral Condo at Kampung Baru Sg Buloh (New Village Sg Buloh)....

If u coming from KL side u need to U turn into dsara sentral. From main road cannot turn in. I should be going over tomorrow to fit the bush.

Ok, silicone steering bush fitted. The old 2 small bush a bit worn. 1 big bush worn more and started to crack. On fitting new bush the big bush tough to fit as the silicone bush is harder material.

After fitting, noise gone. Just some minor sound from suspension flexing only. Also, handling seems tighter now. I guess the rear suspension bush also likely worn by now too. Rear suspension and lateral stabilizer bush next. The suspension bush needs to be pump in. Going take time and money. Lateral stabilizer bush easier to fit. Rear absorber 80k km now, maybe do it with bush together later.

Hi everybody, is API SJ or SL (or SM) engine oils being recommended for Gen 1 Avanzas according to manuals ?

Gen 2 should be SM or SN?

Go for SN. Doesn't matter which generation.

Thanks for responding.
Maybe I should put my question clearer this way, what specific API SJ/SL/SM oils are mentioned in owners' manuals of Gen1 and Gen2.

API SN was launched in 2011 when Gen1 Avanza production was tailing off..

Not mentioned. Use the best oil u can afford. Most engines is ok with whatever oil, only those badly abused then could be badly worn so u need thicker oil.

If your engine well maintained suggest the best oil, to prolong life. Been using fully SN. But this year will go semi SN as mileage just too low. 9 mths only clocked like close to 2k km....hahahh..wasted my fully SN.

been using toyota mineral 10w30 all the while, no problem, though i seldom daily drive this car now, but when i do drive, i will give it a good rev pull, usually second gear and third gear to red line, don't baby the engine, rev it.

Hi, guys anyone install ultra racing bar for avanza f601 ? Izzit good? Thinking of installing it

i did rear anti roll bar first, then front strut bar, then front lower arm bar, i install it one by one in that sequence.
in the end, i take out the front strut and the lower arm bar as it is jsut too stiff and uncomfortable.
the rear anti roll bar is ok though, it increase straight line stability and as well as improving bodyroll, not eliminate but improve.
but still i would recommend change yr shock to kyb rs ultra first before instaling the bar.

I'm using RS ultra now, thinking of adding the UR see got improvement when highway over taking car goyang ?

then i suggest u install 19mm rear anti roll bar, like i said it will increase the stability but whether or not the price are worth the performance, it really depends on your budget tolerance as the price wont be low now i reckon. if your goal is to really want to improve your handling, save the money and put in adjustable around.
for me i dont like the front strut and lower arm bar, the rear anti roll bar, if i would given the chance to go back in time, i wont install it though.
