im just about to hit 130k km as well.

 

The car only wobbles when there power is applied, and seems that 2.5k rpm is the tipping point at any gear.

 

It is strange that my knocking sound from the wishbones is gone.. :/ haven't even change the arms!

No.. Haven't change e arms and the sound miraculously disappeared. Haha.

 

Maybe the culprit was the drive shaft all along? BTW, the thing that spoils on the drive shaft is usually the CV joints - worn out.

I was prancing around youtube.

Then I saw a video of a 156 GTA in Sepang.

At first I was very happy. There is still another GTA happily tracking out there.

Then I looked at the video.

At 3mins, he is still at the start of the back straight.

My *&*&($_@!!! At 3 mins a freaking 147 2.0 Twinspark has already crossed the finish line!!!

It's too painful to watch.

If YOU are reading this. Please stop and look for a driving instructor.

Mainly, its the CV joints and ripped out bellow covers..but sometimes (like mine)...I grinded off all the bearings too..so a full recon work was needed. I saw the process and I dare say these driveshafts guys does a pretty good work, almost like new... [:p]
