kokoko sound when over uneven road

[adam2]

anyone has similar issue? drive arm, absorber or drive shaft?

[Johnyoung]

I have the same issue even after replacing the upper and lower arm, linkage and the absorber but the sound is still there. Please let me know if you found a solution to this as the sound is irritating me. By the way the sound comes mostly on uneven surface instead of humps.

can describe more on your sound?

 

mine is from driver side underneath

 

bght this car used and dealer has replaced the left lower control arm but not this right one

[Johnyoung]

Mine is both side front. Depending which side is going through the uneven surface. 

 

It usually happens over small bumps especially roads that have undergo construction. even for roads within the HDB ( Brick type )

 

and the sound, sounds like you take a metal rod and knock left and right underneath. 

 

It happen months ago and i got the absorber change but sound still persist and i got all the linkage and arms change though it reduces the sound but wasnt happy about it and i got a 2nd absorber change again and tada, its gone. but it came back recently. :/ so I wana rectify the problem first before spending more again.

Not sure whether your problem is similar to mine. I spent $2+K on the shocks and lower arm links to find the problem still persist, though there was improvement.

 

Finally I got rid of the sound totally by lowering (adjust) the hood stopper, plus put a felt over it. It was a DIY and $5 job.

 

What caused the sound was the hood stopper rubbing against the hood whenever the car went over humps. You can check for marks where the stopper comes in contact with the hood.

 

See photo of hood stopper:

 

 

 

To add: Adjust both sides and ensure they same hight. Apply felt on both. Let me know if this works for you .

I have this 'clok clok' sound on my rear when going over uneven surfaces. It sounds dampened and not the high pitch Kok kok kind of sound.

Not too sure what could be wrong either. Mine's a w211 on OEM blistein.

ok I got my problem solved by replacing the right side linkage aka lower control arm

I am also having the same problem. brought it to CnC - charged me $233 and told me nothing wrong and this is a standard feature.

Walked out of CnC like and chopped carrot head and swear if I have to consider if I would buy a car again from ever again
