Hey Guyx, anyone ever experienced that please share your views, would really appreciate that.

When my car is at D gear shift and i am waiting on Red signal the car vibrates (due to pressure break i guess), and when i put the gear to N shift it stops vibrating.
Is this something normal act ?

Please share your thoughts and experience.

Thanks

Normal because your car at D gear..Engine is running that time.

If you in N gear, but still vibrate, you should change engine mounting to new one.

My Passo hit on speed breaker when two person sit on back seat. Please note that my Tyre size is already 14.

Some people told me to install 2 inches spacer and some people told me to do not install spacer because in long term this will be issue with my car suspension.

can any one advice me what to do now? if i go for spacer what is cost and from where i can go for that.

Also when i am driving on some rough areas there is a lot of noise in front which is its suspension but when i asked my Mechanic he said that we will change its steering part in suspension cause its never changed and that is why there is a lot of noise coming when i am on rough areas but its smooth on plain roads so do you think i should go for it cause i am still confused cause i am still thinking that this noise is due to my tyres i guess OR if it is suspension then why the steering part ?
Any input would be appreciated from you guyx

Thanks

This case happened to all Passo owner in Malaysia..Malaysia tarmac road is kinda bumpy and japan is quite flat and straight clear tarmac..when drive in rough area, off road or bumpy road, will hear a "kruk-kruk" sound..after check, is not suspension, brake disc or anything but only one which is Steering Rack.

This happened because passo steering rack got a bit room inside, so when ride at rough road it will shake and making sound..so we here often change it with Perodua Myvi (Passo twin of Malaysia car) steering rack and no more sound..alternative way for much cheaper, we make a teflon and install it inside the rack..usually this can stay around 1 - 2 year depends on how you drive..

So far, other than that, no problem at all..only Steering Rack the reason why passo making sound "kruk-kruk" when drive at rough place..

So, better check first with your mechanic first before change anything un-important because it will waste alot of you money and time..

That what happened to me first time..

Prefer install spring coil buffer..much safer and reliable plus cheap..3 ppl stay behind when drive at speed breaker (bumper in malaysia term) not hit the fender at all..

Or change to new Absober & spring..if got money, change to Adjustable one (hi-lo soft-hard)

thanks alot riazorblues bro for sharing your experience, yes the same "kruk kruk" sound from front made me confuse but while driving on plain roads it was smooth so i was confused what would be the least possible defect in suspension part. Thanks for explaining it.

Also i was worried to go on Long routes like from Pesh to Isb due to this sound and suspension thing, that if i will drive my car at speed 100 or 120 Kmh continuously, it may not cause any problem for me. What do you suggest for that ?

Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

From your explanation, I'm positive it a Steering rack as i mention before, and for long distance travelling not problem at all..

The rack actually is normal and good condition because it was made for Japan road use..but when we imported the car, the country road not same as japan had (Japan road not same as other country road)..so that the problem..

I try find out what the problem, It took me quite sometimes, wasting lots of money, time and energy..but glad found the solutions..I change to new passo rack = same problem occur..then change to myvi rack = problem solve..but myvi rack is kinda expensive if you want to buy (consider price & shipment to Pakistan), but prefer you ask mechanic or automotive engineers make a Teflon or other nut or anything to be installed at the rack to cover the empty room.

For suspension, better you change new or re-condition one for better n smooth ride..plus its all about your safety..

Thats all will do..

Hi Shery,

I also had related problem, noise in front wheels on rough areas specially when passing through cateyes. My mechanic diagnosed the problem and was in the steering box, he repaired steering box and now the noise is gone. He also told me that any delay in this problem would have resulted in changing the steering box which is worth 6000rs these days, you better remove the problem at your earliest convenience.

P.S
I also have some problem with engine mounting (hydraulic mounting not working properly), I also have to change that mounting too

Best Regards

[smokenn]

Yes i will go to my Mechanic's place this Weekend will share the updates with you.

I hope we dig the actual problem now.

Thanks for your time

Bro how much your mechanic charge you for the initial problem that you were facing other than a new one which costs Rs-6000/- Actually i believe that whenever we are doing some Mechanical work in our cars we should do the best without being worried about the cost but the problem should be sorted out easily without creating any other problem for us.

And these Japan Cars are very sensitive as compare to other cars , correct me if i am wrong?

Thanks

Repairing old one cost me about 800rs. And yes I agree, go to mechanic if you are certain about the problem, else that will create new problems in cars like passo, vitz etc

Guys I want to join the club. A guy here selling 2004 model passo and he has installed CNG in it. I have heard crap about CNG not working in passo. I want to confirm if this is in actualy crap or not
Your guidance will be highly appreciated. On different Pakwheel topics, I have learnt that CNG works well in Passo models below 2008.

Please respond
