You just bought the 20th and you're already fixing stuff:hick:i was hearing noises that sounded like ball joints. Poping and occasional rew reww rew reww. I sprayed wd40 along pivit points to make it go a way and it didnt.I felt around while mason moved the front end up and down and found a squeek dead center of each ball joint. Squeek is gone but the main reason for doing the ball joints "POPING" stil remains. I gotta figure out what that is.the rotors / bearings are new and i think the calipers are farily new as well. I was glad I got this done anyway, they were shot. Ill inspect the tie rods next go around, I didnt disconnect them for balljoints though, wish i had because i could have push in and out ect for slop.The poping noise is familiar as it turned out on my other car the plastic fender skirt was binding then poping along the front edge of my fender. On this car, i forgot to check that.Just cause i just got it doesnt mean it doesnt need anything,,lol. Quote Selected
