hi there,
my '98 honda civic has been giving me much problems recently. hope
u guys can help me out on this.
1) When i am carrying a full load, (i.e 3passengers plus me) there
is a squeaky sound each time i drive over uneven roads, and even at
humps where i slow down so much that i am barely CRAWLING over them
and there is still a squeaky "kkkkkkarrrrrraaaccchhh" I suspect
that the problem is with either the suspension or the ball
joint.
I had the car jacked up and found that the rubber casing enveloping
the ball joint has been torn, but the mechanic told me it is not of
utmost importance. Is this true? He also bounced the car up and
down a few times and said the suspension was fine. Therefore he
could not solve my problem and it still persists, on and off. Can
anyone tell me what is wrong?
2) The brakes also make weird crunching noises the moment the car
stops completely, and when i release the brakes to accelerate. This
problem also intensifies with load. What is wrong here?
Sorry long post but pls help me out. This musical mobile is really
irritating the shit out of me and my passengers. Thanks.
