Front end suspension/steeering noises

Post by SLYDIT » Fri Jan 02, 2004 10:21 am

Ive heard of the bolts that hold the front subframe to
the chassis can loose thier torque and cause knocking.
also the suspension bolts that hold the arms on(the
ones with the alignment marks) can actually be
setretched by over eager wheel alignment techs and so
this causes the alignment to go out or the bolt to
knock.
Also the brake caliper sliders and brake pads can
ratlle and knock if they dont have any lube on them Hope this helps

Shortly after having some gearbox work I had a thump when doing a hard right
turn similar to what you are describing. Turned out to be a brace or
something not dne up correctly when they refitted the box.

What would you recommend putting on the back of the anti squeal shims behind
the brake pads. Glue or lubricant?
