Strange clicking noise

Post by BiggestNizzy » Fri Apr 30, 2010 4:40 pm

Been listening to more mellow stuff on the radio recently and I have noticed a clicking noise coming from the front passenger side, it doesn't happen when I go over all bumps and not when I go over big bumps (sometimes even when the road is smooth)


Any Idea's ?

Not that kind of noise, it's hard to explain it's like something is popping in and out

ARB seized in the bushes. You'd be surprised at the noise it makes.

New shocks, springs and anti roll bar bushes and the noise is still there, I did one side of the suspension was tight and a couple of bolts ahd begun to loosen themselves off so I am going to buy a big box of M10 nyloc nuts and strip off the arms and regrease the bearings.
