my trusted mechanics: Quoted by NeuroOne

Hi NeuroOne I wish to thank you very much for recommending the above.
I just got off Mr Man's workshop with my V6.
He is a very good man. Very honest, (advise me not necessary to change certain parts now - probably later when I thought it  needed replacement )  Very friendly (able to converse well on many aspect) Very knowledge able on V6. I personally will strongly recommend any V6 owner to go to his workshop.
TQVM really appreciate your input on this site that helped me in a direction. 👍 👍 👍

hi vincent
yesterday right after u left, Mr Man told me u went there to have ur ride checked and did a normal lube service.
btw, i hv known him for 10 yrs and he do hv lots of knowledge about cars.
he's one of those guys u can talk to about cars until morning. biggrin.gif

and he's been mechanic to many teams either rally or track races and is still doing it.

Guys, need help here. Recently my car is experiencing pulling to the left side when i release my hands from the steering. I think maybe it is connected to the incident when my front left wheel went over a pothole quite hard when cornering to the right side. Among other symptom that I felt are as per follows:

1) Car constantly pulls to left side when driving, either crusing, accelerating or braking. symptom becomes even worse when going uneven roads.
2) during braking can feel slightly freeplay in the left front wheel, like wobbling front and back
3) left rim feels slightly hotter than right side
4) when crossing road humps feel like front left wheel will bounce one or two times more than front right side.

Actions taken so far:
1) swap tires left&right - no difference but swap tires front and back got improvement
2) already went to check with three workshop on the brakes, three foremans says ok after checking but last I still insist the final foreman to service the brake piston just to be sure. foreman after service says brakes are ok,No difference compared to before service but funny the left side wheel still more hotter than right side wheel.
3) Both front lower arm changed with new sets brand 555
4) absorber also replaced new set
5) alignment done twice already at separate workshop

so what could be the reason for this? hopefully, some sifus here can offer some form of help and guidance.
Thanks a lot in advance.

if u have changed the lower lateral arm (straight arm), then u should check the lower control arm (the curved arm)
check the bushings and ball joint
maybe the bushings koyak or snapped out of the socket (the bushing may not be koyak but became loose)

Thanks for the advice bro....but I already went to this bushing specialist shop, I believe he is quite famous foreman doing bushing. His name is Mat Lan. He checked all the bushing is in good condition. He mentioned only the staright lower arm got problem unsure.gif
*
from Lan Engineering? yes his name quite famous in bushing stuff
i was thinking of contacting him to change all my rear bushings (the factory bushings are 15 years old already) flex.gif

i thought u already changed the lateral arm to a new arm 555 brand?
so what's actually the problem? the arm bracket/mounting point?

Yeah, Lan Engineering. I did changed to 555 lower arm due to bushing koyak d, managed to solved the krok krok sound but the alignment thingy problem still persist.... cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif

so do u found out whats the prob with the alignment thingy?
maybe ur crossmember (layman's term = tulang gajah) got something to do with the prob?

my crossmember's bushings already out but since it requires a lot of work and time, i delay to change it. hehe

one more thing
check ur tie rod end. check the ball joint of the tie rod end.
sometimes the will be free play of the tie rod end's balljoint.
if theres free play, time to change it

there are vibration when engage to N gear, come from mounting?
mounting just 6 months old...

should be less vibration coz engine is free running.
just check it lah. 6 months old doesnt mean cannot koyak.
