so i noticed a odd knocking noise on the passenger front side, only when im driving, not turning, checked all the struts and top hat bolts. everything is tight.

could it be balljoints?

alignment?

strut getting bottomed out?

any help is appreciated!

 

That happened to me recently on my right rear side ... Turns out my shock absorber thingy on the strut like disintegrated and my shock was bouncing around inside the springs. So the piece was like 30 bucks to replace. Idk if it's the same thing but my car made a thumping noise only when I was driving also!!!

So good luck :-)

 

I had knocking when i WAS turning and turning only. Took it to the dealer and warranty got me new ball bearings. Everything good since then. Good luck!

 

I hope its not that. I just got them from mmmpssh. ( or however you spell it)

I would be very upset If that was the problem.

 

Hmm well the only way to tell is to take the spring out and look at the shock. It's the rubber circular thing that's like right on top it keeps the shock up!!

 

I could be wrong. I just know that's what happened to me lol bummer if thats what it is cuz u just got them!! Is ur car lowered!!!! It happened to mine after I lowered it. Coincidence?? Idk lol

 

Well the front doesn't have that. I'm getting it realigned tomorrow so hopefully they can diagnose it.

 

Oh ok good well good luck man :-)

 

well it was the bushing in the top hat,

i hope mmmmppsh replys to my pm's. anyone have his number?

 

Aah really?? Hmm well that sucks!! At least you know what it is now. What did u get from mmmpshh?? Or whatever??

 

Stock struts with Megan lowering springs

 

Mmmpshh is a pretty reputable guy, I know him on a few forums. Don't be quick to blame him but realize thats just kinda the case whenever you buy secondhand suspension stuffs.

 

I can tell he's a great guy I'm not hating at all.

Sometimes you don't notice a problem, I understand that happens.

He told me that it was in perfect condition, but it wasn't and I'm sure he is willing to fix the problem.

 

My experience with suspensions too is that you really have to check your install. Its just easy to go wrong. Maybe the clunking is your endlinks?

 

It's 100% the bushings. The guy at big o even showed me, when it was fully drooped, you can look at the top hat, and put a crow bar under the tire and the ground and make the tire go up and down. Watching and hearing it clunk.

 

Ok my bad didnt see you solved it already. I'm sorry man that sucks!

 

Damn that blows. Well I'm glad you got it fixed !! So no more clinking?? And it didn't damage anything else??

 

No not fixed, it's In my garage, non op, waiting for mmmpsshh to send a new bushing.

 

Dude, seriously stop trynna make it sound like Im trying not too handle this... you have email and pm
