Front end strange noise was created by Calcium09
Hey everyone,

Quick question for you all..

Whenever I drive over speed bumps I get a strange noise coming from the front of the car and think it is on both sides it almost Kaunda like something is loose, broken, snapped...

Anyone know what this could be? I know it's a vague description but not sure how else to describe,...

Thanks

Perhaps you should take a look under the car.
Much easier than us guessing what it could be.

Broken anti roll bar link, broken spring, play in radius arm bushes, panhard snapped/bent & catching axle, panhard bushes worn, shock absorber loose/faulty.

Could even be a corroded and snapped mounting.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

Yes

You likely have the kingpin bearings gone, amazed you haven't got the associated wheel wobble and wandering steering.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
