lower arm bush, that is link to your wheels, need to take out the rim then can see clearly. 

Austosaver say can last more than 120k.  When you brake or depress, u heard tok tok sound...meaning arm bush start to give way..

what for replace?  :confused1:

is this an extra gadget ? or is this from stock? my ride got this tok tok sound whenever i depress brake or travel at a very very low speed (parking), i once change the steering coupling from TCM however this problem came back after a couple of months.

my ride is less than 2 yrs old, can i request TCM to change for me FOC?

Sounds like (no pun intended) we have same problem. Complained to TCM when servicing and they changed the coupling thought that will solve the problem but the tok tok sound is there especially when cornering at very low speed. Sound like coming from below the steering wheel.. :confused1:

I bought my own parts at Teck Guan

You can replace at Riverviewauto / autosaver.  Both of them had the same labour charge.

Mind sharing where did you replace it?
Thanks
