Suspension noises

Splinter4784 · 04-18-2009, 04:48 AM

I just started noticing this on my car but im not sure if its normal?

Everytime i corner hard i here this consistent metal clicking at a rate of 5 to 10 clicks a second from both sides of the car, does anyone notice this on there car?

I can here the clicking clearly with the windows down and no music

I just acquired this wicked rattle that seems to be coming from both B-Pillars. I swear it wasn't there 1 week ago. It's loud as heck without the radio on, but it is with or without cornering so it must be different than yours. I blamed it on the weather change.. it got warm here, but I'm determined to find out what it is now.

Take your wheels off and check for debris between the rotor and the rotor protector plate. I got a noise there once that mysteriously disappeared. Check your connecting rods - anti-sway bar - make sure your rubber boots are good and they are all tight. I read one post where a guys suspension (not sure which component) was not tight all the way.
