So the M35 is definitely still under stat warranty :rolleyes:

When I have to drive slowly over a speed hump or twist out of a raised driveway I hear a horrible sound like the whole chassis is dry and needs some grease on a few bushes or maybe its the suspension. Mostly it seems to come from the front suspension but there could be some sound from the rear leaf spring bushing also. I wonder if someone got carried away steam cleaning underneath.

Sure I read somewhere here about greasing something at the front end but I cant find the post now.

If its something simple I'd rather do it myself than go through all the aggravation of complaining to the used car dealer.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?

Car was road worthy tested only a few weeks ago before I drove it away so I'm assuming the suspension isn't stuffed.

Quick fix or get it checked at a Tyrepower?

Cheers

Most of the bushes in a car this old will be on the way out. I would get under there and grease the bushes with some lube spray like lanolin (or something that wont attack rubber) and see if the noises go away first. It could also be the shock.

Failing that, go to town on replacing all the bushes with Nolethane and get some BC's. :thumbsup:

I had a similar issue with my PNM35, it started to squeak at low speed such pulling in and out of driveways, speed humps etc. after the under side was washed. The bushes all looked ok, so gave them a quick spray with Silicone and the noise has not returned (almost 1 year ago)

Thanks for the advice guys.

It's been quiet most of today. It agrees with the warmer weather.

I'll grab a can of silicone from work and go and see someone I know with a car hoist.

Cheers.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
