Hi.
I bought new KYB absorber, mounting, bearing, stopper and boot. Then let a workshop to replace the part.
After that, i noticed got noise when turning, while driving slow. Example, going in to house car porch.

Before this, no noise at all.

I suspect some mistake during installation. I doubt is new part problem because both side got noise.
This car is Toyota Vios NCP93.

Thanks.

What sort of sound? Maybe you should get it checked. Car repair is a funny thing. You can repair a part and the next thing you know the other broken parts will suddenly be noticeable.

I know this sound. Some mounting spacer not in place.

It sound like rubber and metal rubbing. But when turn hard to left and right only.

which spacer? spring cover at top?

As I know there’s several moving parts with rubber. Namely your tie rod end, steering boot and drive shaft boot. You mentioned replacing the boot, which boot?

This sound exist right after changed absorber. Together with absorber mount, bearing, absorber boot.

Just now went to another workshop for a quick check, they suspect absorber mount and bearing.
But it's new part.

Parts could be defected. They do happen. That’s the problem own bought parts. You bear the risk yourself.

Sorry off topic. How much you spent? My absorber also gone d

if metal to metal sound then most likely the mount kot

cost you around RM1K ?

You know stabilizer link? Might want to check yours. Mine also after change absorber a week later got sound. Bear with it for a year plus or so. Go other workshop service, ask them check routinely, they show me my absorber link bush koyak so i change it. Notice difference straight. Less swaying while driving, no knocking sound when reserve turn park. Even brake less noise, it was noisy as fark ehen i changed the pad. Maybe previously workshop didnt install well, and i thought its the pad problem. When they change the link, need to remove wheels.

Edit: wrong post.

normally got sound when turn left / right is the driveshaft CV boot, but in your case might be control arm nut or stabilizer bar link rod not connected properly, need to check alot of stuff, not sure based on your description.

I sprayed some silicon grease into the mounting. and sound gone. Will see if it come back again.

Part alone is RM580.

Is metal and hard rubber grinding sound.

stabilizer link still good. no free play.

RM580 for parts.

After spray some silicon grease on mounting. Noise gone.

should be the mounting misplaced or terbalik liao then

nice. spray from engine bay?

You buy it for changing worn replacement or you bought upgrades? Aftermarket performance parts sometimes does create new sounds because they are harder and does not conform to other parts that work in a certain degree or motion.

Yes. But sound will come back few days later.

Its a oem replacement. Due to worn part.

Mind to share which absorber brand you bought?
it is mandotory to replace the mounting, bearing, stopper and boot altogether with the absorber even they still functioning?

i think if most of the parts still in good shape , just change the absorber ..

KYB oem absorber. According to the workshop, Toyota fitted original is from KYB also, but with Toyota marking.
The life span of mounting, bearing is almost same as absorber or maybe longer abit, but it is double job if u use back the mounting or bearing, and after 1 year it fail, u spend the labour twice.
For stopper, it broken already, u can feel it breaks into pieces.
For the boot, it still in good condition, but since it is cheap, i just order together.

ncp93. please help, how to remove the strut mount dust cover? it feels like it’s glued to the metal.
