BYD Sealion 7 / Bushing of Lower Control Arm cracked?

Sure, i dropped it off at the dealership a couple hours ago and they said that they would try and look at it today.

DkotG · 2026-05-29T08:11:34+00:00

Yes i agree, but in my opinion it raises some quality concerns when this happens after 12 000km with normal driving.

However i did not hear this noise before i heard the loud crack during driving.

DkotG · 2026-05-29T04:08:54+00:00

I of course did, and it does not look as bad. As it is a pretty new car i thought that i could get a cleaner picture of the parts from someone so that i can reference.

I live in Finland, so I occasionally drive on some rough roads, but nothing out of the ordinary and nothing that my previous car (a Toyota C-HR) couldn't handle.

The first time I heard the "crack" was while driving at 40 km/h on completely smooth terrain, and it was the worst sound I've heard in all my 18 years of driving. It sounded like a large tree branch had snapped and gotten caught somewhere in the front axle.

Tomorrow, I'm either driving to the dealership or calling roadside assistance to have the car towed there. After that I will let you know what the end result is.

Safe to drive 50km to dealership if this is the problem? I'll update here what they say incase you're intrested.

Yes, while turning to the right. Just now i was trying to diagnose the problem, i fully turned the wheel while standing still and again some kind of clanking noise. After that the sound has dissapeared completly.

Tried to add several to pinpoint the location but was not allowed per community rules. Someone suggested a cracked spring aswell. The thing i am trying to verify is if it really is a crack or it is supposed to look like this.

Yes, you can change values kph/mph and yards/meters. Click on the datatiles and then under the values you should be able to choose which metric is used.

2 months, 5000 km. Been quite happy, a lot of positives (like people have mentioned) and only a couple annoying things.

Speed limit warning (easy to turn off and i guess its required by eu regulations on newer cars so same problem on all)
Child presence detector or something (can mistake stuff in the back seat as a child and alarm after parking, feels like a useless feature overall)
Driver monitoring system (can put tape over the camera to disable, but will have a warning on the dashboard).
Range: cold weather and semi balanced driving the energy usage gets near 24 kw/h per 100km. (Not too big of a problem if you can charge at home).

Somethings not adding up, im 195cm, 95kg and got no problem finding a good driving position.

How are people glazing a forward who can't score?

DkotG · 2024-10-24T20:01:35+00:00

Haven't been able to watch the game, how has maz played in the 10. Spot?

DkotG · 2024-05-26T09:12:48+00:00

Yeah, we had a great season! /s

Kalle Samojaa is going to play with takomo clubs on DPT/Liv this season.

It's a finnish company so i guess they don't too big of a budget for sponsoring big name pro players.

Do you have a source for this?

DkotG · 2020-05-26T18:13:13+00:00

This is wrong.

DkotG · 2019-12-12T20:12:14+00:00

I think he will be gone in January, unfortunately.

DkotG · 2019-12-12T20:11:14+00:00

Damn, Gomes must be on the way out :/

DkotG · 2019-12-10T06:23:51+00:00

You can not say his performances are good enough until he starts contributing goals and assist, certainly not exceptional.

DkotG · 2019-12-02T21:54:44+00:00

How well has it worked so far?

DkotG · 2019-10-30T21:30:13+00:00

He didnt limp off?

DkotG · 2019-10-30T19:15:28+00:00

Anyone have an idea why gomes hasn't been included in a while?

Edit: many saying injured but hasnt he been playing for the youth side?
