Pls, This Noise-is My Shock Absober Faulty? by silvoice(m): 4:44pm On Aug 10, 2014
Good evening my wonderful NLs, especially car experts. Pls , as i drove today i was hearing a little puko...puko kind of noise from my back wheel. I thought it was exhaust pipe, one mechanic said is d shock absober- he would check it tommorrow. I don't trust these roadside auto engineers. I don't want them to do me d more u look, d less u see. What's d best way to go about it and what do i watch out 4 if he looses it tommorro? Is the shock d problem or something else? I'm jus a newbie in this car thing

It could be any faulty suspension part or even an engine mount, get a trusted mechanic. If he tells you a particular part is bad and you are in doubt post pics of the part and we can help you here, for now there's not much we can do.

Congratulations on finding the problem, now do a proper fix, get the proper rubber hanger/holder and remove the wire, after a while the wire will brake or get rusty.

I'm happy your problem is solved.
One day this roadside artisans will kill our cars. Common things occur commonly. When anything goes wrong with your car they are always quick to jump at some crazy high fallooting conclusion. Let's devote more time to DIY and consult nairaland more often before leaving our cars to the mercy of those jokers.
