Default suspension clicking..dont know where is from

alrite...it clicks when there is a bump, and also when im turning. its not the axles. when the car is parked and you make the front bounce hard, it clicks. its comming from the driver side. check all the strut bolts. there all snugg and the brake bolts too. dont know where this is comming from.

Check all your bushings. Ball joints, tie rod ends, etc... Sometimes they get so deteriorated that a squeak becomes a knock

no the axles are brand new...less than 10k.. just did a swap. i was going to buy the poly-urethane bushing kit was told it wasnt worth it.

back to the problem...it wasnt suddle. it was progressive. first it was small and only click once in a long drive. and it built up. will check bushings this weeken. i've been stumped for a while now.

Torn tie rod ends may cause this among other things... But you must check all bushings to see what they look like.

check the strut that's clicking for a slight seep as well. I had a car slooowly drain off some of its shock fluid (just worn - it happens) and replacing the strut fixed the problem.
