Technical problems in my Lancer
Hi,
I am new to Automotive India. I have a diesel Lancer (2001) and I am very much addicted to it. Due to its vintage now a days it is giving some problems.
Issue 1 : Suspension:
================
* Changed suspension kit (including lower arm / bush kit/ etc). But my Mechanic did not replace existing coil spring. He had tempered it using "Spring Tempering process" (dont know about it).
* Gas shocks has been replaced.
* New tyre replaced.
Now, whenever I drive on bad roads (especially pit/pothole on straight road), I dont feel any suspension. But If I drive on curvy ups and down, I could feel the suspension. The issue with both front and back.
Somebody can suggest, whether the problem is with Gas shocks or old coil springs ..
Issue 2 : Grinding Noise
=================
Past few days, I could hear some grinding noise from dashboard. I am not sure whether this is rattling noise or grinding noise). During Idling, even If I give throttle, I dont hear any rattling or grinding noise.
* I have removed all things from dashboard box but no result.
* I dont think problem with Gearbox as have changed clutchplate/release bearing everything before 6 months.
Also, suggest for this issue also..
