Hey guys, I have a weird suspension noise coming from the front. And this one is different from the infamous shock knock problem. I knew this because I had shock knock problem and fixed it already. This cracking sound is coming from the front suspension and it sounds like metal. It's kinda hard to describe it and it really annoys me. The sound only comes up if I'm driving through unsmooth roads.

Any suggestion ?? Anyone having the same problems ?? I'm kinda tired of going to my dealership since I've been having so much troubles already with my 5th gen ludes (timing belt,tranny,rear wheel bearing,shock knock) and I hate to go there again unless I really have to
Well, thanks for reading my complaint...

 

You do not tell us the milage or year of your car-but I will assume it is a 5th gen.
You also fail to mention if it is a 5 speed or SS; Is the car lowered and does it have ATTS. BUT, since you say you have gone thru a rear wheel bearing and the tranny has had some work-this tells me that there is some serious use be put to the car. If the tranny has been out it is possible that this should be revisited. Then again have you checked behind the front rotors and made sure the dust shiels are not touching and that there are no stones stuck in there. Also take a close look at the sway bar end links. You also need to make sure that the spring rubber pieces on top are ok.
Good luck

 

Thanks for the advice, I'll take a look at it.

Sorry forget to say that my car is a 99 Lude Type SH 5 speed. The mileage is 40k right now. Eveything about the car is stock. I'm about to lower the car when I start hearing the noise , so I decide to wait and fix this problem first.
