PLANT Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 So the left front side, when turning slowly, was making a noise..... Mechanic has replaced the left strut mount of the suspension with another aftermarket version........it was only replace 1 and 1/2 years ago? Then says that the OEM is double the price but does not have the noise problem that has appeared? Anyone had this issue with aftermarket version strut mount covers? Also how many kms between wheel alignments? I rotate ever 10K Kms Just went for a drive on flat road and swerving at under 10kmh had the noise still there..... Sounds horizontal source not vertical Planned rotation and wheel alignment but going to check with mechanic again before...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmdubya1198 Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 +1, don't use aftermarket strut mounts, they're absolute junk. OEM only. I've had bad luck with aftermarket suspension parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLANT Posted March 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 So he got OEM spacer as aftermarket did not come with same and said he replaced bearing aswell, leaving aftermarket strut mount on? No sound anymore! Did a tyre rotation and now the right front centre wheel cap fallen off again after driving. Seems to happen only front right centre cap? Anyone get the sticker as they want $$$AU for new centre cap with sticker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLANT Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 So I finally got the After market centre cap stickers for $4 Did you take the plastic layer off the front of the sticker? The writing also protrudes the sticker, unlike the original Edit: I tried to align the logos so they were in the same position. After driving I note the centre hub cap logo is now not aligned with the rear logo, is that normal? Bloody scrapped front right rim in drive thru ahhhhhhh.
