I got one of my mates to walk while i drove slowly over bumps. Trust me im as baffled as they are. We can here it but dont know where its coming from. Just from reading the link i posted above i thought i finally found it as no one really looked in there. Maybe i should cable tie myself to the suspension so i wouldnt have to ask and look stupid here.

Are you sure the noise is only when driving over bumps, and not when you are accelerating/decelerating? There is the 'Axel click' issue, but will tend to be noticeable when accelerating from a stop or slow speed, or decelerating in gear.

Superpoo - i think you have something there. i haven't tried that one yet. since the so called experts like pedders and a couple of big franchise mechanics couldn't pin point where its coming from I might give that a go. so i have ruled out suspensions, calipers, park brakes, sway bar links, sway bars, control arm bushings, exhaust, mufflers and heat shields. defintely not from the rims as i have a new set (it was doing it from the standard too).

sonicii - yeah over bumps not all the time, like street humps over and off it and like on concrete roads where there is a gap for the next concrete block. Hardly (almost none) on asphalt...

This used to happen on the right side but that one is completely gone the guys where i got it from had tried fixing it. but they just wouldnt give a time trying to do the other side and kept on saying its not gonna break the car! just frustrating sometimes!

Next service? What makes you think a service will fix it?

Someone needs to pick up a spanner mate....

well because i have given up paying for getting the same answer. the next service which is back where i got the car from and because its on warranty i can bug them again with it to make another attempt to look at the problem.

Update:

Took it back again and finally they said the slack on the hand brake lever was hitting the plate behind the brake disc. They were saying the spring was loose as well. All they did was just cable tie the slack so it doesnt touch. Didnt hear a thing on the way home. So big smile on my face!

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My crystal ball says that when they replaced the pads, they didn't replace all of the brake hardware (could be a missing shim, pin, spring, etc).  Finding a low dust pad should be very easy. Have a google for things like, low dust / soft pad compound / easy on rotors. Your dust primarily comes from the rotors getting eaten up by the pads.

      I think old mate is going to continue to hold out for awhile at that price

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      OBD1 is a catch-all term for pre-OBD2 which could have basically any connector design and protocol. I really don't understand this attitude against using data logging for issues that can be multi-causal and subtle. A no-start situation or something like that sure the scan tool does nothing but if it runs like shit it can often be a sensor issue. When a friend of mine reliably had issues with his N54 not able to stay running eventually I narrowed down the issue to a faulty fuel pressure sensor. Only way I could do that was a scan tool to look at the fuel rail pressure and see shadow codes for fuel pressure. Then check against a pressure gauge. Is reflexively firing up the data logger probably a bad habit? I guess, it can encourage people to not listen/observe but on these old OBD1 cars just taking a log really doesn't do anything by itself. You still have to synthesize everything you know and think about what it all means.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      Yeah saw that video on YouTube. But he got a R grade (repaired) high mileage model and proudly advertised the fact it was super cheap and no doubt with issues. I wouldn't be going the cheap and nasty route.
