Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    Suspension sound

    I searched the forums for a bit, and found some stuff on rattling suspension, but my car doesn't rattle as much as it sounds like something is slamming against something else... if that makes sense.

    I've already replaced the sway bar links, so I'd like to think that's ruled out as the issue.

    The sound comes whenever I hit a slight bump.
    Also; it's only on the right side. The left side is perfectly fine.

    Any thoughts?

    I'll try and get a video of the sound up today or tomorrow.

    Take the wheel off and give the suspension a good look over. Your question is a little loaded without more info.

    Bump stop missing

      Yeah, I figured it'd be a bit vague as I'm trying to remember all this off the top of my head 'cause I'm posting while at work.

      I'll pull the tire and get you more info as soon as i get home.

          Could be:

          Lower ball joint
          Upper ball joint
          Upper control arm bushings
          Lower control arm bushings
          Sway bar end links
          Sway bar bushings
          Outer tie rod end
          Inner tie rod end
          Bad shock absorber

          hope that helps?

            Is the car lowered? Or on stock suspension?

              And Bongo, I'm on stock suspension.

                My car has poly bushings. Everytime I hit a bump of some sort I get a grinding noise. Can't describe it. Mine need grease. Maybe yours do too.
                I have done all my suspension work. It sounds like something is rubbing. This is the only thing I can think of in my case.

                  So, I went and removed the wheel, and found no big issue. At least to my eye.

                  Took pics though.

                  Thanks again for the help, guys,

                      Same grinding noise on bumps and humps. Found out it was a broken bracket on my exhaust near the rear right passenger area that was causing the noise. When I replaced my exhaust, noise was gone!
