Chris Wilson Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Does it do it if you rest your foot lightly on the brakes, enough to just apply them a little? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmax Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Does it do it if you rest your foot lightly on the brakes, enough to just apply them a little?

keron Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 If you need any used parts, give me a shout. Try the brake thing chris said. Ive heard a similar noise which turned out to be linked to jspec brakes....how about the top mounts? Have you got coilovers that are a bit corroded? Heard similar noise when some teins had badly corroded / cracked top mounts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmax Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thanks Keron for helping, I will check the brake first then if nothing new will contact you, thanks. Suspension is the 3 setup and was make the noise before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmax Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Ok today we look at the wheel place and for my surprise we find the point when we turn 10cm the steering wheel to the left and the right smooth the click noise appears ! Rack should be, now anyone have any idea if I need to buy a new one if is oil missing or is rebuildable ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Is this clicking as the tyre rotates, which I what I based my guess on, or does it click with car car NOT moving forward, but just as you turn the STEERING wheel? If the latter suspect bottom outer ball joints on the bottom front wishbones, or the rack end ball joints, inside the convoluted rubber rack boots. These are available separately. In fact I may have new ones in my stash of redundant stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I raise the supra and took off the boot of the rack I could see anything suspect ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmax Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Tonight get some courage and start find the problem, what you think of these images ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) That looks O.K. Check you don't have a broken spring and check the front subframe nuts are tight. To check the alloy subframe nuts, remove one, lubricate the thread and torque back up, do to all four, one at a time. P.S. That's a posh garage, I could live in that!

Thanks, and about the oil in the steering ? Can I send the Supra paraffin engine and subframe, because I notice the guy o paint my supra I say to him to put some anti-noise product under the car and my surprise he put everywhere lol subframe, ball joint etc !

David P Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I assume you mean to clean it? Cleaning it will make it look pretty to any pedestrian you run over, but won't fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmax Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 One question the outer tie rod from the other wheel is the same, because if it is I will test it to see if could be these part, in these video I hear at 0:03 seconds the same noise ! http://art.rexbo.net/jakoparts/jpg/200/j4822047.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 That's called a "ball pin end" and that one's dead. £90+ each from Mr. T. or find a good used one for a lot less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 That is totally and utterly knackered No grease left in it, probably driven on bad roads or had a very hard life. Renew both sides, (left and right ones). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
