hollow noise up front when going over bumps?

[aveodude]

wow look at all the info. i have hade the lower comtrol bushings replaced and i still have the noise. i still have some warranty left so......... time to take it to a different shop i will let every one know how it (ruby) works out. thanks

Try the steering knuckles. It sounds like something came loose causing your alignment to get out of whack. It would explain the choppy tires and vibration.

Ahh that is useful information. Is the noise coming from the side of the accident? What all got replaced in the accident?

yeah, it's like a real loud creaking noise. i don't like to drive it for long periods cuz idk wats causing it.
and i'll have to look for the papers from the dealer cuz my house caught on fire so idk if i got them with my other paperwork. but here's some pics of the underside. i know a cv joint?



that black plate with the 2 bolts?



and the struts for sure and transmission




oh and of course the insurance company left my car sitting in my driveway for about 3 weeks so i doubt if that helped at all

yea i am betting they didnt replace one part on that side to try to say some money and it is just slightly out of whack

[nathan06a]

i think so. they're trying to tell me that the fender liner is just supposed to tuck under the fender. is there supposed to be bolts where the holes r?

[aveodude]

If you can find the paperwork, that would help. If they didnt replace the axle, check the dust boot for a tear. I am still sticking with the control arm theory tho. If you have a chance, take some pics of the underside now. Also check to see if the bushings on the control arm are all lubed

Has anyone got any help from the dealerships on this issue? Mine has been making the noise for a while but it's gotten worse and it drives me nuts. I've had it to the dealership twice and each time they say the sway bar links have some play but are within "spec". When I do my oil changes, I check everything and they seemed pretty loose to me.
