Hey guys I'm hearing an ugly noise in the front and I'm afraid is the shocks. But I don't know how check them or where to look at. My car has 2 years already and seriously hope not to replace the shocks yet.

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

thats a pretty vague statement, more info is needed to make a good judgement.

 

mmm well... I'm afraid I don't know how to explain it in english 'cause I'm from Puerto Rico and my english is not very good on this kind of terms. sorry...

 

if it sounds like a popping noise and you still have warranty, take it in for a TSB on the front struts. research it and you will find people describing their problems with their struts and see if you are experiencing similar issues.

are you stock suspension?

 

To check for shocks, you press on that corner of the car, and see if the car bounces up and down. A good shock should stop the bouncing right away, the more it is wore the more bouncing you'll get.

It could be other things as well. Maybe your brake caliper is missing bolts and stuff. I had a problem not long ago with my other car making noise around the rear wheels, and it turned out to be missing caliper bolt.
