Sounds of a bad strut I guess
Quote:
I think it has something to do with the strut itself, idk. The insert probably has too much play inside & it moves around in the tube. If I grab the wheel on top and pull on it hard, I think I can see the strut insert being in a slightly angled position; it has an unwanted movement too with a sound somewhere inside. Yes, I think the ball joints and tie rod ends are all fine but we`ll inspect them again next time at the removal of this crazy strut. I noticed a knocking/clicking sound btw many-many thousands of miles ago but that time it happened only at very slow speeds and only at left turns on very bumpy roads. I suspected the upper strut mount and bearing that time. We talked about it, remember and it seemed okay but I suspected that it will end up being more sensitive over there. I just kept hearing that sound but there were no negative effects on handling. In Jackson Hole, WY I showed it to a European car specialist mechanic who said that my strut is going to be toast soon but it`s completely fine to keep driving. 10k later I`m here but whatever it is, will be solved I`m sure. I will keep the d24t pros` good advice on which spring compressor to buy. Thanks for now!
