Thanks for the offer dude..Id say they are just going to be dirty.. The inside of the hub looked pretty dirty when I changed out the shafts.. How much grease is meant to be in there ?? There wasnt much every time iv seen inside..

Where is the controller for the ABS ?

[Tim.]

Yeah each car i've pulled the sensor out, it's been dry so i don't think there is meant to be grease - it just gets dirty from brake dust.

ABS controller - not sure if there is anything else aside from the hydraulic pump where all the brake lines run to in the engine bay.

This:

Fair enough.. I was just thinking there may be a control box or something I could check the connections too.

Cheers Ill report back Tonight.

[Josh.]

Hopefully that fixes the problem and it's not your centre diff. Those things are not cheap!

[vicelore]

Ive sent a email back to the importers that sold me the cut so If it turns out to be the centre diff hopefully they can source me one for cheap if not free.. They are a parts importer after all. I was ok with having a blown engine as I know half the money I paid went towards the Gear bag.. But if thats 'ed too Im gonna really push back on the importers.

Im gonna really push back on the importers.

This!!! They need to take some serious responsibility for their screw ups!

Sorry to hear all the troubles mate! If you ever need a hand just yell out, I'll come down and help

[vicelore]

Yea cheers Callum.

Well went about pulling all the wheels last night and cleaned the ABS sensors.. Didnt stop the light or the clunking around corners..

Did a fair bit of testing tho.. And it does get worse as the car heats up.. Also only happens when under load.. When turning with the clutch in there is a tiny around of noise but no clunking.

Im uploading a vid of the sound atm.

[vicelore]

Its prob most clear at the start of the vid.. then on the second turn..

There is dash vibration noise in there too..

[Scuba-Roo]

I havent watched the video but i remember my mates dccd sti box if he locked the centre diff it would clunk like crazy when turning.

[Tim.]

Ha! there are a lot of noises going on in that video. Are you talking about the noise @0:13 and then @0:33?

Yea Its a 'ing noisy car.. The gear box itself makes allot of cool noises.. Plus the engine is VERY loud and makes hearing it hard.

But yes at 0:13 and 0:33..

related?

Hahahhaa

[vicelore]

No one ?? I may be better posting the problem on rex net or something maybe ?? Allot more STI`s over there..

[Tim.]

It's just really hard to diagnose a clunking over the internet. It could very well be one of the diffs knocking since you've swapped out the CVs.

I would hate to send you on a goose chase. Best to take it in to a drivetrain specialist and take them for a drive.

[vicelore]

Yea.. Its hard when your driving the car haha..

I think Ill try a new oil in the tranny then see if that quietens it up..

Its booked in for the 4th to have it looked at by the guys who put the engine in so thats gonna hopefully get to the bottom of it..

Plus I need some CEL codes displayed.

[MrSober88]

Thats sad to hear man. Hope it all gets sorted.

[Alex]

no skid videos? sorry I haven't been religiously following your thread, but what's up with it ATM?

[Scott]

your gearbox whines like a mother trucker
nice flutter at the end tho

[jakefake]

Expect it to be noisy with all sorts of sounds you have no 'ing idea what they are or where they are coming from!
my RX use to be a blissful drive not a squeek from anything, but now if i don't have the radio on, i feel like im driving an Boeing 747 with pipes sucking and shit ding'ing all over the dash
