Hello one and all,
Around October of last year I had my front end rebuilt, soup to nuts, with PST components. Shortly after my 2nd alignment, around February, I noticed a metallic "snapping" sound coming from the front end. It happens when the wheel's locked to the right and I'm pulling into a driveway with a lot of "rise" to it so that the right front wheel is significantly higher than the left. Prior to the front end I had all suspension parts, front and rear, replaced with Hotchkis, except for the upper rear control arms. Nobody can find a reason for this or any marks on any components. It doesn't occur that often but it bugs me, which I'm sure you'll all understand [img]smile.gif[/img] so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob G. |

RG,
Take a look at the stabilizer links, one may have loosened up a bit, or the rubber has been chewed up causing the stabilizer bar to snap up against the bolt/washer. Quote:

My64GTO,
Thanks for the reply. Supposedly that was checked along with everything else and I was "told" there's no visible marks anywhere but I haven't checked it myself and that's really what I should do. Your post made me realize that. Thanks, Bob G. |

you'll want to make sure everything is greased well also. you'd be suprised what noises dry suspension parts make. mike
