Hi i need a little help on this issue...I've been trying everyday to detect a certain knocking noise under front and more to the right of my 05 high line gen2. Changed calliper pins engine mount,absorber link and i still here knocking noise on uneven roads.
Found out the,rod to the steering rack is noisy..can that be the problem?
No steering freeplay, no wobbling.can i change any bush to make this better.
Fed up!

The other issue is the gear downshift downhill
..is there anyway proton can adjust this?

This is noise from mechanical problem, not for sound proofing thread. Will shift you to Proton thread also... smile_tongue.gif

have you changed your steering rack bush ? 2005 - 2014 is a very long years of wear and tear.
go google and search for gen2 steering rack bush. silicon bush is great.


what is the problem with downshift ? you driving an auto ?
you prefer going downhill with the final gear izzit ? rather than the lower gear to reduce speed ? ( engine braking )
