Hi there everyone, got a problem with the (suspected) drive shaft of Gen2 front-left.

Today did a u-turn, and the steering wheel jammed - had a hard time steering the car staright. Any idea what to do/ proceed?

Thank you

bought my uncle gen2, 6 years car for RM 18000,Auto. No problem for awhile.

Recently I change :
aircond belt, timing belt,water pump = RM670
Tyre aliment =RM 20
Radiater= Rm 500
engine casket = RM200

Now no problem.. Top speed in highway 200km/h
No modification done before. When 180 km/h car start to be unstable and chaky thats all.

Now I clever ady I dont go to workshop I go to shop sell the parts and buy it and ask my mechanic friend to helo fix workmanship oni RM20.

does your uncle's gen.2 have any problem when making a u-turn like the steering wheel locked? or the tyre scraping the the body?

i'm having this problem, the workshops i go can't solve this problem. maybe you can help ask your mechanic friend?

I dont have any problem with steering wheel and tyre touching the body...the only thing of all gen2 is cannot turn the steering fully.
"u-turn like the steering wheel locked" and "tyre scraping the the body" ~ I dont know what kind of problem is this, it would be better if there is video or picture you can post.

thanks but i don't have any pictures/videos at the moment.

i guess just have to bear with it, don't dare go to workshop to fix something like this. sweat.gif

Help!!
I encounter battery drain problem with my Gen2. Battery is new, alternator is new..  Cannot start car after 1 day if I don't use car.....
Any solution????
*
what brand is the battery? if new one drain after 1 day of non-usage then take back for replacement. if the workshop hesitate to replace then it is not new but most likely a recond sold as new.

This problem I have for quite some time already.. That is why try change new battery but still the same...

What could be the problem besides battery issue?
*
are both batteries, the old and new. the same brand? if you can rule out the batteries, then you can go to an authorized SC to check on the wiring. it might be short-circuit to the body of the car somewhere.

Can recommend any authorized SC around Damansara PJ? I have tried many things before, and pretty convince this is wiring problem...

i am not familiar with Damansara PJ area, maybe someone staying in that area can chip in with suggestions?
