Turion94 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 My car makes this horrible noise over speed bumps or just bumps and dips in the road. It's getting worse. I've already replaced the shocks, stuts, springs, isos. Anybody know what it is? Thank you for your input.http://youtu.be/kQP8jrUUuRo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Mine makes noises over bumps too it's usually my long tubes hitting the ground lol. But seriously have you checked or mabey sprayed wd40 on your lower control arm bushing up front, kinda sounds like the bushing squeaking.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turion94 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'll have to do that. Its really annoying. Are those pretty easy to replace yourself or should a shop do it? Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellogg Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Sway bar links? Sway bar to frame bushings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback. of you have a hydraulic press yes, if not easier to let a shop do it. It could also be swaybar links/bushings.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellogg Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Ball joints can make some odd noises as well. Any noise at a stop with just turning the steering wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64bit_Tuning Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 sounds like sway bar bushings to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 ^ also what I was kinda leaning towards as well. Shouldn't be too hard to tell if they need replacing or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64bit_Tuning Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Just unbolt the sway bar and grease the bushings... then put it back together. see if the noise goes away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellogg Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 If the swaybar bushings don't fix it..check ball joint. I have seen one fail going down the road. Lower control arm fell onto inside of rim and rode it out. not a great deal of damage but could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turion94 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 OK here is an update. I found out what the problem was. I took my car to a shop that was recommended to me by a close friend. I told them what it was doing. They looked at it and right away noticed it was my sway bar bushings. They put some lube on them and its completely quiet now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
