mine does it to hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm wonder what it is i thought it was my coilovers so the other day i put in my stock struts real fast and it still does it

 

I have checked every dam bolt on the front end, it really feels like a bad shock with no fluid in it. But it doesn't bounce like it would if the shock was bad.

I felt it a little more today in the streering wheel, I'll check that

Thanks

 

weird, I thought I was the only one too that was experiencing it.

Is it the infamous creak?

 

not the crreeek its from the suspension i got the creak fixed well made worse by the dealer

 

I have a "thud" sound when I hit certain potholes. Doesn't really bother me though.

coryjames, sucks that the dealership made the "fix" worse. When I saw what the process was when fixing the problem, I knew I would just live with it.

 

I've found something that I'm pretty sure is making an annoying noise on mine.

Whenever I'm stopped and give it gas, or moving and hammer it, there's a clunking type noise on the driver side.

With the door open, in the front where the fender mounts to the body, there's a plastic liner type thing between the fender and the body. Goes all the way from the rocker panel up to the bottom of the A pillar. I pushed on it and it moves quite a bit back and forth. I think when I give it gas, it's coming back and hitting the metal and making the noise. That's my guess on my noise anyways.

EDIT: It also does it on bumps sometimes.

 

I haven't considered the plastic in the wheel well, but your noise sounds like mine drivers side.

If I find it I'll post it

 

I have the same noise / clunk feel on the steering wheel. . it was faint before I dropped my car but more noticeable now. But mostly when turning the wheel on a slow turn. I've checked all bolts and they were fine. I couldnt find anything with too much play either

 

It may be just the nature of the beast, but it's driving me crazy hope someone figures it out.

Thanks everybody

 

mine is in the one two shift and yeah i dont know but it does it with my stock struts to so who knows maybe its just the motor flopping around who knows

 

I was parked in a parking garage a weird way and had to do a 3 point turn to get out of a parking spot. I really think its somewhere in the steering assembly. Maybe a pivot joint?

 

i hear it over speed bumps every now and then does it wehn its really cold

 

Yep now we're on to something, COLD temp. and small bumps and turns in steering, maybe has something to do with the power part??????
