Check the brake calipers. They normally have a rubber which a shaft moves in. If it has worn then the shaft will knock against the metal ring. Also check the Axle Nut. If it isn't really tight the spindle will give a slight rock and eventually damage the bearing. Also check the Axel if all these things are good. The CV joint could have some wear and could give a small play. Lastly make sure the wheels are nice and tight. Good LUck Bro. Call me if Anything.

Hate Frontwheel Drive!! :evil:

Rear Wheel is D BEST

i got all my parts from massy but they real expensive....if you can't afford it you can get it all at union auto supplies, union road marabella... they have real good prices...eg. $1100 for the cradle by them... good luck bro...

PS: my personal advice buy it from massy....

motorist usually has parts for a little less than massey..........

1100 for a cradle???? :lol:

$900 i payed and that's on more than two occasions :wink:

if you paid 900 for a cradle by massy i'm certain it wasn't a oem product..probably the reason why you had to buy on more than 2 occasions..
or perhaps thats for one side of the cradle...

The 1100 by union auto supplies is for both sides of the cradle....like i said i never used it so i can't say for it's durability and performance....

as for my initial problem, it was not the suspension, it was the main engine mount.... seems massy was never able to identify the real problem....

an ordinary mechanic drove the car once, identified the problem and repaired it in half of an hour....

Massey only sells OEM, :lol:

i know what i payed for and i know they will never last long in our roads............thats why i have 3 old cradles in the store room at home......bearing in mind the car has well over 120,000 local kilometers.

oh yea which engine mount was it? the one by the belts?
the front and back mounts by the manifolds have the little Bridgestone electronic attachment.....i'm still not sure if they are sensors or motors.........
