I am not sure if its the shocks. There was no sound before but since 40000kms the sound is quite noticable even with windows rolled up and passing on speed breakers. Also noticed the front tyres are getting quite beaten up now. So do you reckon that the shocks require some sort of a lubrication or something?

Tuk..Thuk..Tuk..Thuk
Where: Right Front, under the hood
When: Cold start
The noise usually heard on Monday mornings afterI have a had stagnant weekend with no rides. I checked it with an authorized Fiat dealer and he diagnosed it as clean saying he did not hear anything on cold start.

Help appreciated

Hi there everybody. This is my first post on team-bhp and not under the happiest of circumstances.

I got delivery of an i20 magna on 29.09.09. At around 1000 Km on the odometer and 3 weeks into ownership i started getting a rattling noise from the front right hand side of the car whenever i drive over rough roads.

Had this checked at Hyundai Motor plaza service center, chennai (The same place from where i picked up the car). The executive said it was a wheel caliper problem and would be fixed at the first service.

Gave the car for its first service yesterday 10.11.09 at 1453 Km on the odometer. Got the car back by 2 in the afternoon same day and on test drive the same noise persisted.

Three different service guys have driven the car and had a go to fix the problem. Had to leave the car at the service station overnight.

This morning the service executive calls saying they have tried all they could but are unable to address the situation. The guy says its probably a steering column issue for which they have called the original vendor to have a look. This is going to happen only by Monday 16.11.09. Until then they have sent the car back to my residence and the service executive has said that i can continue driving the car as it is not a serious issue.

So:

1. what exactly could this noise be due to?

2. If it is a steering column issue as mentioned by the service executive what could it mean and how serious is a steering column issue?

Short squeals from the left side. When the car is stationary and while in motion.

Suspension issues... But what exactly is faulty?

tuk-tuk-tuk distinctly heard on light acceleration, goes away when I release the accelerator completely.

Car: 99' Carbed Zen.
