Going over bumps I Hear a wobbling sound from the suspension, mostly form the rear but often from the front. I'm not sure where to start looking. Shocks are new in the front and so are the springs. Bushings in the front look ok. I don't feel any wobble in the steering the car itself doesn't wobble just the wobbling noise.

I should add. With the car up in the air if I grab the whel and shake side to side up/down everything is tight. It almost sounds like my pathfinder when I'm in 4x4 and going over bumps the wheels wobble (but the stabilizer dampens it. Same sound but without the wobbling feeling)

check sway bar

Ok will do. Now that you mention it It does sound like when the rear sway bar links went on my pathfinder.

how about wheel bearings?

Wheel seems to free spin good with no noises and no movement front to back... butwill keep it in mind.

I went for a drive agin tonight. the wobble has lessened (mostly in the back now) But the front right is squeaking really loud both moving up and down and when the car is level and the steering is moved side to side. It does squeak after 1/2 turn either side, only whent he wheels are straight and again only on level ground. Also squeaks when I come to a stop (nose lifts) I took a quick gander...

not sure how to explain it. It seems the spring/strut fork is rotated inward from where is should be and binding the bushing in the lower control arm (if that makes sense.) I seem to recall new struts were put on this car, Is it possible the hat on the top of the coil spring assy is mis aligned? I tried grabing and twising it so it's"straight" but no go.

I have a sturt spring compressor, I thoght about relieving tension on the spring to see if I can rotate the assembly
