      Front right suspension rattle-click when going over bumps

      I have this rattle in the front right suspension on my 2013 AVEO. I'm leaning towards a damaged/worn bushing. My wife went through a pothole that bent the rim a bit. That was when the rattle started.

      Is there a polyurethane kit I can order online to replace all my bushings at one shot? If not a link to the stock kit I can order online would be great. Is it a user installable item? Or do I need a hydraulic press to get the bushings in or something?

      i had similar after major pothole hits - it was the control arm bushing for me, but check all i guess. also a loose strut mount was causing a click sound too.
      there was a posting on this forum i recall about poly bushings from someone international but i think they were looking for a bulk buy - search the forum and you should find it.. as far as local stuff if you find a supplier let us know would be really nice to replace them all at some point

      Great. Just in time as I'm taking my car in for its 55km service in next week. If it were a loose strut mount, would I not see the bolts backed out a bit when I open the hood?

      Probably not. I just removed my struts and found nut was hard as hell to even back off. The only way you can determine what's loose is to jack the car up and start shaking stuff. You may have to remove the wheel to see what's moving or not. Getting the wheel off, means less mass and easier for a human to shake. Often what takes hundreds of pounds to hear, might take a few pounds of force to see.




      Please do not power off, firmware update pending.....
