Suspension problem

[eyearejon]

The past 2 days I havent driven my car cause I've been riding to work with my girlfriend in her car, and this morning I drove it again and everytime I hit a bump it sounds like there's a scrape/rocking-chair like squeeze in the front springs. Just to make sure there was nothing hanging out the bottom of my car scraping the ground or anything I checked under my car, there seems to be no problems. I also took the wheels off and checked the springs and everything seems to be alright. However, since I've driven my car the weather has dropped dramatically down to the low 30s. I'm thinking maybe the cold weather might have something to do with it? Anyone have any ideas? I'm riding on stock suspension in case you're wondering.

go out and hit some bumps on perpose and listen to the front end if it knocks a little its probably ball joints if not then it may be the stock shocks mine are making a little thud noise when im pulling into my small incline driveway and i think its just time to get new ones
Go outside right now and try to bounce the front of ur car and see if u hear anything like the noise , also sometimes it helps to have someone drive by in your car while u listen to the noise from outside next to a bump they can drive over

-good luck man -Sean-

It kinda sounds like it may be the bushings in the upper control arm mounts. Mine on passenger side sounded like this, and drove me crazy, but this is how I narrowed it down to that:

if you have a trusty jack.. jack up the car, and see if it makes the sound when you jack it up. If it does, try to do it slowly, and hold the upper ball joint/pivot mounts, and see what is making the sound. (you should feel slight vibrations from whatever is squeaking) In my case, the bolts holding on the control arm (2 connecting to the pivot mounts) were a little too tight. I loosened them a little, and no more noise.

Check if its that, and if its not, or if its more of a clank/banging sound, post back up.

Well it might be that something is over tightened or something is loose I had a couple of noises with my 4 dr and it was that my control arm ball joints where over tightened and every time I would jack her down you heard a screeching sound. Another sound every time I hit a bump my spash gaurd would scrap up the ass hope this helps peace.
