Well hello again all,
Im going to need a huge effort from the toyspped community for this one...
SYMPTOMS
Basically my car is still suffering a few teething suspension problems. The symptoms are rattling, and clunking in the front suspension area : wheel, swaybar, etc...
As I drive straight there are no sounds, unless I hit a bump then there is a wobble, a rattle and a clunk...Turning corners the issues arise, when more tension is put on the steering.
Diagnosis
No 1:
CV Joints
These were replaced after the first mechanic tried and diagnosed the problem....However the inner joint was only reconditioned and not new. Could this be causing the problem?
No.2
Shocks
These were replaced today...
Other possibles:
Lower control arm bushes
These were also replaced today
Every bolt in the suspension has been tightened!
After all these the car is still suffering the initial problems. Although the new bushes were put in, along with the struts the car is much stiffer and firmer. The control arm bushes were difficult, but they do assist alot.
What could it be?
Im thinking sway bar...It is slightly touching the exhaust. However, they have been there together for about 1 year now...and the problems have only arisen recently (past 2 months).
The bushes are all in great condition, and the sway bar is all good and nice and tight...But it is clunking around a bit. Alot of people running whiteline swaybars have had similar issues.
But im disillusioned...After going to 3 separate mechanics and dealing with all those problems...The same issues still occur.
What should I look at?
Any ideas, help would be greatly appreciated guys!
Cheers

A classic clunk maker is a worn swaybar link.
Check them as they do wear out.

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!
