Hi Sifus,

My car (Honda City '09) has been experiencing some weird sounds coming from the front side, believe from tire area.

It sounds like some washer loosen and hitting into something, but not sure what it is.

It is more prone to happen when the road is a bumpy or uneven and it's louder when I wind down the window. So I believe it should be somewhere close to the tire.

Went to the workshop, the mechanic took a drive but he said couldn't really hear it.

Instead he felt my suspensions is not really in good shape as he went over humps and suggested to change.

Personally I wish to resolve the sound issue 1st, instead of changing the suspension and in the end still unable to resolve my initial problem.

I have managed to record the sound and attach here.. pls try to ignore the wind sounds as I tried to record it with the window winded down.

Hope sifus here can provide some recommendation or insight..

Thanks a bunch guys..

Yeah bro... it's like 2 pieces of washer hitting on each other or washer lose kinda noise.. but do not know what it is..

the sound comes and goes.. but it's appears more often during bumpier roads..

thanks bro for the recommendation.. will take note..

nope.. and that's the problem.. this mechanic just said he couldn't identify that sound but mention suspension was bad..

so my thought process was if he is ever going to lift my car up.. he probably would want to at least charge me something..

hence recommended the suspension..

yeah.. would have to look for other workshop that would at least help lift it up and check..

any recommendation of good workshop around puchong would be greatly appreciated too...

nope.. so far did not hear it during reverse.. or probably coz too short distance la.. only when parking..

have not try going on reverse for a long stretch..

thanks bro for the input.. will mention these few things to the mechanic to get their feedback too..

ohh my... never would i thought about using chatGPT as a go to... now i know i could... hahaha..

hey bro.. possible if u could attach that audio that was refined? i could use that to the mechanic once i visit... perhaps this could give him better visual..

thanks mate..
