hmmm status check on my DA9 , leaks int he front passenger footwell, shocks and springs need changing , engine needs a good service , rims need painting, sound system needs installing, power window on passenger down button doesnt work , but can hear the up button working....., headlights are dim as &*%$&, boot plastics need replacing , clutch grab feels soft, brakes need changing. Bit of work to be done if we're honest....

Any sydney DA9'ers wanna help me? =]

[stevo716]

cud be ur bushes man, springs dont usually make noise
theres the front upper camber arm bushes make alot of noise for me

[supanoodle]

gnaw great

I have no experience at all with bushes. Is there a writeup about DA9's and where/how to get em?

How much would I be looking at too?

Sorry im a complete noob when it comes to Honda's

[stevo716]

hammer and alot of frustration lol
proper way is with a press
pedders can do em

[slimx]

guys ive had this small rattling sound lately like as if theres a rock inside a tin can boucning around. After alot of research and asking a few ppl here and there i think ive come to the conclusion that it is the clutch throw out bearing? whatever that is..

When i press the clutch the noise is still there but MUCH MUCH quieter (the noise only comes in cold) and has been getting louder over the past few weeks, when warm .. (very rarely makes noise).

So yeh..
1. what is a clutch throw out bearing

2. is it pricey to fix? (roughly how much)

3. what happens if i dont fix it

[supanoodle]

im actually interested in this too as my car makes the same noise but regardless of cold or not...
