knocking/tapping from front drivers side
suspension woes --- again........ i swear i didn't cheap out the second time around!
Anyways, there's a slight knocking or tapping sound coming out of the front drivers side area. I jacked up the car and everything seemed to be tight - none of the boots are ripped or torn, it's all dry. Whenever I drive on uneven surfaces I hear it and it's alot more evident when making a right turn.
All the screws and nuts are in place and tight, cotter pins are all there and in place. I also tried to wiggle the steering wheel around (when the car was on stands) to see if that was causing any noise but nothing. Shock is dry, no fluids - the noise is there whether the shock is turned to firm or soft.
I only started noticing this very recently and I want to troubleshoot this issue before a major one arises.
Oh and the last problem I had is going to be fixed tomorrow at Gilman's.
