Since two weeks ago, there's this sound coming up from STELLAR's right front wheels.

It's a squealing sound.

Apparently my earlier session three days ago to eliminate the sound didn't really work out.

Mr Jasmie did a brake disc skim, and replaced my brake master pump pipe.

The sound did disappear for a few kilometers, but then it reappears bit by bit again, until last night.

It really gets on my nerves.

The thing is, on the straights the sound was a pulsating one, increasing in frequency as the speed increases, and a light corner augments the sound. A heavier corner eliminates it completely until you go straight again.

This morning, the sound persists until 25km, when I reached a toll booth. Then it disappears completely. What gives!?

I can only hope, coz I really do think it's the wheel hub bearing acting up.

The Problem Car

STELLAR's steering is fully fitted. So I would say it's feels more secure now.

Only thing is, I know that the rubber cone is not so well performing, as it's fully compressed already. The front side is too sagging already, STELLAR looks awfully low! So a pair needs replacing.

And the front hub ball joints needs replacement too.

And interestingly, it exhibits almost a crosswind effect to him. And boy I am afraid sometimes.

All these done, I hope the alignment will be flawless.

Some more, the bodykit is sagging. I need to tie it up with at least, a heavy duty cable tie or something.

Constantly

STELLAR successfully got his oil changed.

Afterwards he runs with a consistent temperature, and relieved I am.

Now, to worry about the 350rm steering rack. I was quoted 40++ for the labour.

Where to find the dough?

Afternoon, headed to Seremban.

Almost Power Steering

STELLAR's steering felt too light last night, I think I almost imagined him being too easy to crash somewhere.

Or I think I pumped in too much air into his tyres, I don't know. It's 31psi at the back, and about 34psi front.

Or, the steering felt heavy all these while, because of too few air in the tyres. And I just got used to the heavy steering feeling, when this happen.

I should get used to this new feeling, as it almost felt like power steering was added to him.

Next week will be my turn to drive people to Friday prayers. I am thinking of putting in some aircondition gas as well. Just for them hot moments. Just...

And for the steering, it will certainly need some attention someday.

Rest in no peace, STELLAR, for at any moment, you shall find yourself getting started again.

Jump In

Nearly missed the bus this morning.

Lucky I asked my love while she's still half awake, about her brother wanting to use his own car today. So I jumped in STELLAR straight away.

And instinct told me to drive a bit faster too, albeit worried about the steering rack's looseness.

One tip from me to all bus catchers; always use only minimal electrics of your car, unless you want to end up draining your car battery over a forgotten switch!
