Sorry to hijack the thread but i have the same problem cept mine does it when i take off.
Think is the bushes that are busted but i got the front wheels changed last time and they didnt say anything about replacing bushes.

i have the same problem atm, I'm keen to see what you have done to fix it, after the rain mine have gone away, but it will come back I'd say, was like it for a good 1 or so before

If the noise happens particularly when you are turning sharp (almost or full lock) then its probably the CV, but if its happening over bumps and stuff I think something else (or maybe CV + something else) is happening. Check your wheel nuts are tight too!

**fitvpower** · 07-11-2008 07:07 PM

yeah der tight! and nope the noise doesnt appear wen i do full turns! its so weird ay lol
u reckon the rim on the left wheel has a crack??? thats wat im thinking..

agree i had the same problem driving faster than 20 over speed bumps, especially the real slim ones, (UQ centre ones) when my car was sky rise. it sounds like the some axel has hit and scraped the bumps. I went and checked it no scrapes what so ever, i think it's gotta to do something with the springs not coiling back fast enough (well i got no idea just a random though).
