ok ive been hearing this noise coming from my front left suspension area for the last couple of weeks. when ever i turn my stearing wheel or go over speed bumps or pot holes it makes like a tyre tread rubbing on a plastic guard/Springy noise. it hard to explain but it kind of sounds liek a worn out mattres spring. im going to hopefully get it check out on friday, but i was just wondering what u guys think it might be just so i could get some prices ranges on fixing it.

some suggested to me that it was my suspension bushes.. does this sound correct?

thanks in advance

it does have after market springs... but its not overly low... i can clear square curbs..

do u hear the noise all the time or just when u turn? maybe your tyre rubbing against the inside might need spacers or some thing, thats what im thinking but really should get checked out.

it also could not be your suspension could be your power steering also making the noise maybe those rubber bushes need to be changed.

that your looking at $300 a each one by a mechanic not too sure about price, but i think it actually is your tyre rubbing againts the guard might need wheel alignment or spacers

best thing to do, if it isn't your tyre rubbing , take it to a mechanic and have the power steering checked out. Might need new Bushes, so then he will tell you the price also, and if you need spacers he will tel you how much too.

have a check of ur upper control arm bushes, sounds like it could be them.

if it is them, for polyurethane replacements itll cost about $140 for the bushes itself and about $180 to get them installed. the adjustable to change ur camber on the other hand which would be a better option since ur car is lowered i think goes for about $300 for the bushes not sure about install mite be more and add a wheel alignment to it aswell

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
