A32 Drive Shaft Problem~

[JasonKam]

hi all sifu and pro,i just purchase A32 3month ago...everything is just fine due to the ex-owner is careful driver...after 1 month,i changed to 18" rim using 225/50 series tyres with 1 set of adjustable suspension to dropped it until zero finger gap (tyres tuck in fender),my drive shaft got knock-ing sound...

i already changed another set drive shaft but after 2week,the sound come back again....

did i need to changed another set drive shaft again?

or adjust my suspension back to normal height?

pls help me~

when u say knocking sound .. does it only happen when u go over bumps or uneven road? if yes, then up your ride height. just a word of advise, be prepare to change wheel bearings also if u lower it too much & running on 18". i just changed my 2nd set of wheel bearings (front & back) totalling to rm1020. symptoms of a "kong" wheel bearing is, its is damn noisy & annoying when u drive as if u r in a airplane!

 

[JasonKam]

hah? where u changed bearing,so expensive....lucky my wheel bearing still in good condition....

already changed to another set drive shaft,just adjust my ride height,hope it will be ok later~ now rolling on 1 1/2 finger gap on front and 2 1/2 finger gap on rear~

Lowering ride height = driveshaft problem for most A32. Don't believe check it out with cefiro specialist.

Jason,
May I know what is you 18" rim offset ?

 

[JasonKam]

front +43
rear + 49

why?

 

[Cheongxp]

Just wonder whether cause by too much offset.
But this offset was reasonable.
I even use +35.

So previous change driveshaft was Re-condition or Chop Shop one ?
Wonder how much is the cost you change.

Which brand of Adjustable Absorber you use ?
Again how much for that ??

I also think to change it but not for lower just for better handling !!

Aiyah, just slam it down during vip photo shoot and make it normal ride height for normal daily driving just like some of the senior bros here.

cannot upgrade to citroen like hydrolic suspensions? so u can adjust it high when banjir, and adjust it low to show off... :)

driveshaft from chop shop~(driveshaft/RM190+labour/RM30)

D2 Hi/Low adjustable "New" (RM2k+) without installation~

good handling at cornering and highway use~

for better handling,it`s depend on your rim size(wide),tyre size & type,wat type of suspension u use.....(^_
it`s all about the setting of your car~
