Job done! Jacked up passenger side front and rear high off the ground. Not a single drop of gear oil leaked when taking the intermediate shaft out of transaxle. The bearing of the oil intermediate shaft was completely gone. No more clunking when going over bumps or uneven road now.

Thanks for the response guys! When removing the intermediate shaft from the transaxle, transmission fluid will come out. Is there a filler hole to refill the transmission somewhere? Cannot find anything on the web. Mine is the 2.4L with the 4 speed trans

yes i had both front end of the vehicle lifted. Planning to change the CV shaft as well. Already ordered the part. Thats the part that went bad that John posted btw. 233 CAD tax and shipping included for the CV and intermediate shaft. Planning to DIY the job.

No it is not the driver side CV shaft. It is the passenger side intermediate shaft. The bearing is shot

Found the issue. Intermediate shaft bearing is done. Thats what’s causing the clunking noise. Idk why it felt like it was coming from driver side

Ok. Changed the strut assembly on driver side. Clunking noise still there. Ill get the lower control arm checked next.

The ball joint, wheel bearings, inner & outer tie rods have been changed in May 2025. Changed both link kits in december. No shaking in the steering wheel. No uneven tire wear. No pulling when driving.

Thanks for the response. Ill swap the whole strut assembly on that side. Ill write back once its done

Hello all, Im having a clinking noise on front drivers side when driving on uneven roads or bumps. I replaced the sway bar link already. They brand new but clunking noise persists. I noticed the cv axle makes a clunking noise when i push and pull on it. Could that be the clunking noise? Anyone else axle makes that type of noise? Ive uploaded a short video on youtube. The link is below: thanks!

Changed my drls from high beams to flashers. I think it looks much better like that

Hello all, I found a similar post on diag.net. However, i cannot access any of the replies to that post. If anyone here has a pro account. Could anyone here please please help me get the replies to this post? I would really appreciate it. Below is the link of the post: https://diag.net/msg/m78pkg01yfnjhj2esejqye06a4 Thanks!

So, fixed the battery light issue. Alternator was bad. Pulled one out of a journey at the local scrap yard. Paid 50 CAD for it. Battery light issue gone now. However, Trac Control and ABS still on at cold start. After 30 mins of hwy driving, it goes away after i cycle through the ignition. The traction control alone will sometimes appear on idle but none of ABS or trac control light will turn on while driving at hwy speed.

So i got the battery and alternator checked at my local part source store. Both are good and working as they should. Also checked all ground connections, they are all clean and free of corrosion. Not sure what the issue is then. Contemplating of just sticking a piece of electrical over the light and call it a day lol.

Thanks for the reply! I will get the battery and alternator checked. I have attached the fault codes from AlfaOBD. Its when i scanned the steering column control module, it gives me the C212A
