Do Pakistani drivers experience unusual noises such as clunking o r creaking when turning the steering wheel in Changan Kalam?

These sounds may indicate worn-out tie rods o r suspension linkages. Are these components of subpar quality in the Pakistani variants?

Yes, very frequently — especially after 10,000 to 20,000 km.

Reasons:

Worn-out tie rods

Damaged o r dry ball joints

Cracked steering rack bushings

These noises often appear when turning at low speeds o r hitting bumps. The component quality is often blamed, especially since mechanics report premature failure even with average use.
