So who is working on anything new.........

Got a new sound coming from the front driver side of the suspension, a metallic 'ping' sound, happens sporatically, sometimes a bit more obvious on bumps, but it happens going straight or when braking etc.. can't pinpoint it. Under the same conditions I can't get it to reproduce, but it happens often enough to bug me, maybe 5-10 times in a 5 mile drive.
Anyone got a clue what it might be?
Also the grills showed up today so I'll be painting those tomorrow, while looking over this new found cluck in the front driver side of my suspension.

i think thats that same thing happened to my friends coilovers! sounded like the shock was done for, but luckily the bolt just needed to be tightened.

^^^i hit a pothole not long ago and my front passenger suspension pops at random, tried resetting the spring, checking the ball joint, sway bar, the strut bolts top and bottom. re torquing my lugs, checked my cv boots inner and outer, looked at all the control arm bolts..........
seems like we may have found the tc's proverbial "gremlin" all of the domestic guys joke about on their cars.

i had a little popping in my drivers side front strut side so i raised my car just a bit (H&R Coilovers) and the sound went away

Yeah, I hope it's just that, otherwise my faith in Raceland will tank.
#2670
pretty sure its the strut.
i have an extra set sitting around. every time i think about it its raining. lol
#2671
Checked over everything, drove most of the way to class before hearing it again, seems I missed whatever it was or didn't tighten something down enough, I didn't get to check the height adjustment nuts though because of time, but I picked up a torque wrench today so I'll be able to really check everything tomorrow.
#2673
I want some new lugs too though, don't have much faith in mine.
#2674
orrrrr maybe its the upper mount bushing is off or just flattened out, i was thinking that for mine but if you put that extra set on and it quits doing it let me know

#2676
make sure to check the date on them before you put them on, they are notorious for selling out dated tires. In other words the rubber is older and breaks down easier/quicker...
