installed new suspension now making weird noise.
OKay I installed my suspension.. I just went out to see how it feels and its amazing. but a noise started to form. its on the right front side. its like a thumping sound im hoping its nothing to do w/ my axle. but nothing is rubbing against the tire from a stand still.

Re: (JDMlyfestyle)
It happens all the time not just when im going over bumps so it cant be a ball joint or CAB. OH! and when I turn to the right it stops. but turning to the left and traveling straight it makes the thumping noise

Tell me again how the noise happening all the time precludes it from being either of those?

cause those are there for up and down movment and when im not going over bumps. their not moving up and down.. but its constant thumping, and its realy bad when I turn to the left and put weight on the right side.

Bushings and balljoints are not "just for up and down movement" sweetheart. Do some more research before you start replacing **** that's 100% fine

Re: (Archidictus)
I still dont understand how the bushings can cause that noise. Can someone explain it to me?

Bushings resist deflection from all angles that aren't consistant with their axis. In the case of a cylindrical bushing, that means anything that isn't moving along the horizontal axis shared by the bushing's center is constrained by the deflection of the bushing. It resists up-and-down forces with the most force because of its design, but it also resists torsional forces of all kinds that effect the suspension geometry while in motion.
If the bushing is worn or the sleeve inside it is shifting around or bound to the bolt, it can squeak and clunk and bind/snap when moving, hence the noise you're hearing.
