Sign In OK - this being really an accident means you need to take a serious look at what might be bent or broken. Have to suggest you let a shop for a few bucks take a look. If you hit a rock or something hard underneath you need to know fast that it's safe to use and can't guess well without a real look. If this car shows any sign of not steering or braking properly don't drive it till you can figure out what damage occurred, T invurt User Jan 24, 2012, 3:38 PM Post #3 of 6 (1485 views) Re: whats that sound? Sign In I dont fell any different just a new sound that i hate.. i hear that a bad bushing on sway bar can make that sound is that true?

Sign In Yes to those possibilities but YOU have to look and see if something is out of order now visually then perhaps have a helper with car supported by lower control arm just nudge it down and isolate it if you can. If you see fluid coming out of strut it's going to lose its shock action. I just can't say what happened or what would be common as it's not normal wear and tear it's from going off the road, T invurt User Jan 25, 2012, 4:11 PM Post #5 of 6 (1462 views) Re: whats that sound? Sign In So i looked and it was the sway bar endlink (i think that what its called).. http://youtu.be/lbW1JyDw3qw now i lubed it and the sound stops but when i push hard makes the sound. im planing on change it soon is there any tip on how not to mess this up any more? Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jan 25, 2012, 4:25 PM Post #6 of 6 (1457 views) Re: whats that sound? Sign In Hold that camera steady sport. If lubing that stopped or changed the noise I would bet that you've found it. Make sure sway bar and other parts aren't bent and match other side as best you can. If anything is bent or crooked in any way you may need more but IMO that would be a weaker part than most. I just can't know how hard it was impacted by what? Can only look back one post for now but off road with snow you don't know what might be in the snow of course. Duh - snow is not all alike either. Already plowed snow as you should know if you drive in it turns to igloo ice chunks and that would be more impact than fresh of any type, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
