Is my car Suspension Spoil ?

[Whywhy68]

mine is a 2nd hand car so dono abt the previous owner .. but whenever i sit inside the car or ppl sit at the back seat of the car.. jus after they sat down or got off the car , it will have a "tek" sound ..

 

does that mean my suspension is spoil ?

 

can it be repair ? how much it cost ?

Im no expert but when i had this it turned out to be a spring issue, when my suspensions hardened it just didnt go up or down nor make a sound. And going over humps hurt an awful lot.

Usually the spring still in order, but the shock-absorbers may be worn and needs replacement (few hundreds for Sunny)

If the car sounds like a Myvi when you drive over rough surface, it can be worn shock-absorbers (my Myvi sounds like that)

You may want to try press down each corner of car and release. If car bounced a lot, the shock-absorbers worn. Can get Mechanic to check for you

Some cars so light that shock-absorbers not worn after ten years usage. Some worn out fast

[Ichibawa]

Doesn't sound like a problem with the absorbers.

[Lugerider]

Its handbrake.

[EllaEmma]

Try telling your passengers to get out and in without pulling handbrake. See if the sound still there.

Replaced worn shock-absorbers for Nissan Sunny at RDY Autocare (2nd Storey) for about $600/- if I recall correctly. Best replace the rubber bushes together, then have all wheel alignment checked/calibrated at tyre shop below

Go to a workshop.....very hard to diagnose "Tek" sound, can be anything...seat...rubber bushing...join or other loose part etc etc...

There are a number of possible scenarios.

 

Best is to go down to a reliable workshop and get it checked.
