A.O.A
Dear experts and fellow pak wheelers, kindly help/suggest me some clue for the issue I have with my Khyber.
On passing through bumpy roads, humps and depressions i used to hear tak tak dhar dhar noise from bottom of front and I feel the rattling in steering with this noise, some times car deviate slightly left when passing over humps. Computerized alignment has been done 2 times since I am facing this issue. As we bought this car in 2014, this problem comes inherently, and now sound and dhar dhar tak tak increases very much.
I showed it to nadim autos at nazimabad eid gah maidan. He jack up the car, push front wheel back and forth/ up and down, check play in steering column, by hammering it through hands at edges of steering and drive a little 300 meters on bumpy roads to hear sound, after that he told me that steering ball joint is the main culprit. and also steering bush also need to be replace. He told me if i go with repairing it will done for 3 k, if i go with kabli, it will cost me 5 k and i can search plaza for new one which is pakistani and not recommended by him.
Then i discuss it with my mechanic and he told me new story after checking the car from bottom, that steering box is actually the main culprit and it is already repaired. he told me to put kabli one which will cost me 5 to 5.5 k. further he told me that steering ball joint has no issue.
Now I am totally puzzled, because both are reliable person to us and we are taking there services from more than 20 years. Kindly suggest me some clue here.
