Front suspension

[GT Rob]

I know these cars are old but dam the front end is making a lot of noise when truning and going over bumps even when parked I can trun the wheel's it still makes noise. All I have done are some lowering spring. And the ball joints where replaced about 2 years ago. What should I start checking or replaceing. Thanks for any input

when it's sitting still and you turn the wheel does it squeak like an old door hinge? that would be ball joints. lol, i'm gonna get shit for saying that...but seriously def sounds ball jointish. what brand did you use?

Dont know the name of the make of the ball joints i bought. Got them at autozone and yea it dose sound like a old door

Tony has the most knowlege of ball joints on this forum... or so i have heard

 

[GT Rob]

That's why we have him here I guess. You guys think not having camber plates made the ball joints go bad ?

 

[whiplash473]

ball joints or possibly some old shitty bushings?

wait...i'm only here for bj's?



negative camber will put stress on your ball joints rob. yup also on you sway bar ends and tie rod ends. but the squeaking leads me to ball joints

i feel y man...i feel ya

i would have someone turn your wheel and get down there and have a good listen first

 

[Tony]

wait...why the hell do i have my ball joints in my fn sig? i dont remember puttin that shit there.

 

[whiplash473]

also jack it up and lower it down a few times while listening might help too if you can get the car up high enough to be underneath it while you drop it down
