Replacement: Rod-Stabilizer / Rod A-Connecting

The latest attempt to resolve the Gluk. Today's hangout place after lunch is a big Bridgestone tyre shop in Relau. Can't miss it.

This is the original left absorber link after being removed

Drove into the shop and gave them an overview on the gluk. The foreman took the car for a test drive then came back and had his helpers removed the left front wheel. After that he had what he termed the absorber link removed. Reattached the wheel and tested the car again. Claims the sound was no more. I took a go at it and yes its true enough the gluk disappeared without the absorber link.

The new replacement unit


Same part but different part number and description
Rod-Stabilizer or Rod A-Connecting ? Should I be worried?

Left Side


Right Side



Replacement cost me RM135 x 2 = RM270 in total.

Drove away skeptical whether was it really fixed. I still think its there but then again, today I have a blocked nose and slight fever so I could be hearing things. The usual 1 week adjustment period test will be applied.

Praying hard this will solve the problem...
