lowlancer Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Sup babes Legnum has developed an clunking noise as it goes over potholes and shit at low speed. Happens as I roll over with front right wheel, but noise seems to be coming from rear- this may be my superhuman hearing tricking me however. Explain post haste and I shall reward your enthusiasm for satisfying a fellow man with my congratulations and general esteem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Firdt thing I would check is tophats, then check the shock nut on top of the strut housing is still tight. Then swaybar linkages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike-e Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Sway bar bushes are common. If they are loose just remove the bush. Then wrap the bar with tape until they fit tight. Three people bet me too it dont do this because its fucking retarded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three people bet me too it dont do this because its fucking retarded Wow your argument has so many valid points. Whats worng with it anyway it stops the noise, you can't see it if you do it properly, if you did not know about it you would never know its there.

I literally cannot believe your debating this! whats wrong with it is that swaybars have a twisting action with weight on them. after about 4 full suspension travels your adhesive on the tape will be rendered fucking useless and the tape will start to spill out either side of said bush what did you do for a living again?

Jif Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 It dosen't spill out. Yes it sounds shitty but it works good enough for a city driven daily driver. If anything try it and if the noise stops just put new bushes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Are there any dead hookers in your boot? Their trinkets can rattle, best to clean them out and see if that fixes the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l1ttle_d3vil Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 had a similar issue with the parents STi, my brother spent forever trying to track it even to the point of swapping the entire diff setup from another STi one night, only to take it for a drive and it still clunked. Turns out it was just stones getting into the spring seat and wedging themselves under the spring over time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfoot Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 very common problem on those is the ball joint on the end of the front lower control arm wearing. i lost count of how many of those arms i replaced on 12 month old galants under warranty when i worked at mitsi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abarth Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 On the topic of rangi fixes I heard about these guys who were drilling holes in a worn balljoints and injecting araldite into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-e Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 ^perhaps they should have used suspension grade tape instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fulloc Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 very common problem on those is the ball joint on the end of the front lower control arm wearing. i lost count of how many of those arms i replaced on 12 month old galants under warranty when i worked at mitsi this is the gospel. one of the most common parts i sell. The straight lower control arm is shiiiiit from factory and pretty easy/ inexpensive to replace. otherwise inspect all bushes. also on the above topic... sway bar bushes are like 20-40 bucks. just fucking replace them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 Legends Now, anyone got a diagram of the legnum/gaylant suspension workings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Yup, I've got one. It's under your car, go have a look for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 Ordering bits is easier of I have a description or part number, which a diagram from a parts book or the like would help with. Me saying "Umm the one that goes into the arm thing" isn't much help tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
