Hi I bought a s15 in may haven't really driven it yet but have found a few issues I'm struggling with.
1. I have a knock from what I think is the front drivers side. When I brake and come to a dead stop it knocks. I had that side up in the air gave it a wiggle from the sides and there seemed to be play in the rod itself but I went to change the rod today and the ball part moves very freely (unlike the replacement I'd bought) but doesn't seem to have a knock to it.
The steering rack itself seemed to have play in it but I don't know if this is normal?
2. Gearbox whines when the clutch isn't depressed, is this the release bearing? Will this be ok to leave or should I have a gearbox garage have a look?
3. The rear diff whines abit, I have an lsd in my fwd car but it isn't noisy at all. Should I change the fluid or is it quite normal?
Thanks for any help in advance.
