Chevy Cruze - Rattling Problem

[chew]

Im using a Chevrolet Cruze 2004 model. if you guys have any experience on following problems please advise.

1. In a sudden acceleration or when take a U-turn or when climb a hill, a rattling (in Sinhala "kata kata") sound comes out from the suspension system. Is this a problem in the lower arm or in the rack?

2. In the low acceleration it gives a sound from ignition (in Sinhala "kara kara"). but not always. what could be the reason for this?

If you guys know any good place where is can check these things around rajagiriya or battaramulla please let me know.

Thanks in advance

The kata kata sound is probably your CV joint or the gearbox end of the axle shafts connecting the wheels. The kara kara, can be anything from from your air conditioning system or the fan (the fans have a habit of self destructing on these models, as there is only one two speed fan. Usually the bearings either get stuck or the fin comes off. Common problem).

The best place to go to is the agents or pit stop close to the British school next to the Borella Cemetary.
