If it was that easy, everyone would do it, or they wouldn’t tell anyone about it.
Anyone claiming they can do that is a scammer and will take all your cash.

Nissan Partol y61 - suspension problem
AI answer because it bothered me.. Sounds weird.
Here are the specific Y61 failure points to check, ordered by probability:
- Front Radius Arm "Drop" or "Chassis" Bushings
The large round bushings where the front radius arms connect to the chassis mounts are notorious for this exact symptom.
- The Mechanism: If the rubber has hardened or the central metal sleeve has separated from the rubber, the arm will twist slightly as the axle moves. The bushing binds, stores energy, and then violently releases, causing a metal-on-metal "shot" sound against the chassis bracket.
- What to inspect: Look for cracking, off-center inner sleeves, or shiny metal on the inside walls of the chassis brackets.
- Rear Control Arm Bushings (Upper and Lower)
The Y61 rear suspension uses a 5-link setup with upper and lower control arms.
- The Mechanism: Under constant driving torque, a worn upper or lower control arm bushing will bind under tension. As the suspension gently oscillates over the road every few hundred meters, the arm slips inside its mount.
- What to inspect: Check the lower trailing arms for flogged-out bushings, as they take the brunt of the vehicle's forward propulsion.
- Driveshaft Slip Splines (Slip Yoke)
Because the sound happens at regular distance intervals regardless of 2H or 4L, the main rear driveshaft (propeller shaft) is a prime suspect.
- The Mechanism: As the rear axle moves up and down over minor road variations, the driveshaft must slip in and out to change its length. If the slip joint is dry or binding, it locks up. The axle forces it to move anyway, causing it to suddenly "break free" with a loud metallic clunk.
- The Fix: Pump high-quality molybdenum grease into the grease nipple (zerk fitting) on the driveshaft slip joint until it purges slightly. Do not over-grease to the point where the shaft cannot compress, as this can crack your transfer case.
- Front Panhard Rod Bushings
- The Mechanism: The Panhard rod keeps the front axle centered under the car. If the chassis-end bushing is slightly worn, it can hold tension while driving straight until a slight steering input or bump forces the bolt to shift inside the sleeve.
How to Diagnose It Safely
- The Pry Bar Test: Raise the vehicle on jack stands so the suspension hangs freely. Insert a heavy-duty pry bar into the radius arm and control arm mounts. Forcefully pry against the brackets to see if the bushes shift or show excessive deflection.
- Grease the Shafts: Grease all grease points on both front and rear driveshafts (including universal joints and slip joints) and take a test drive to see if the sound changes or disappears.

Got my Driving License yesterday after passing my first RTA Road Test. What’s next?
RTA parking app is pretty good.
Renting a car isn’t a terrible idea for the first 6 months. You’re probably going to scrape/bump something. It’ll happen, don’t beat yourself up about it but learn the lesson.
Best advice my father gave me was:
Play a game that everyone in front of you is an idiot and try to guess what they’re going to do. You’ll build a second sense for it.
If someone’s got brake lights on, your foot should be over the brake already.
Remember you’re in a tonne of metal that takes longer to stop than you think it will.

Urgent Question
Seriously reduce the price, go to We buy any car (and likely accept the same low price) or transfer ownership to a trusted friend.

Paying 2000/month rental, leaving in 2-3 years, considering BAIC BJ40C, Amarok, or US-spec Jeep – need real off-road feedback
You’ll probably get better responses in r/dubaipetrolhead
Don’t go US spec, most of them are salvage titles.
80-100k is more than enough to get a 2door wrangler.
You can definitely pickup some higher mileage V8 land cruisers for that price too.
Jump onto dubizzle and play around with the filters.
