I think you should have waited to get your alignment. This way if you find the problem and need to remove the struts again you dont have to get a alignment twice.

I have a feeling that its the struts mounts that are bad. I had to change out my rear ones when i blew my rear struts out.

I would double check those.

...errm.

how do u know if the strut mounts are bad? do they look different?

by **trdkamuri51o** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 6:57 pm

is it a clunking or creaking sound... gotta describe in best detail... i would think strutmount

have u checked under teh spring that they put that lil rubber boot?? if u dont have it, it may be also causing that sound..

(its a rubber surround at the base of the strut where the spring meets the strut)

just a few ideas that we came up wid to check.

the sound is a lil of both. a bit of creaking on bumpy streets, clunking on turns :-?

is that rubber piece ur talking about the bump stop?

how much is it to replace the strutmount?

i also checked the bolts. and they seem to be torqued. :cry:

i'll be taking the bf for a ride tonight to see if he hears it.
im sad, my car hates me.

The sproing may not be sitting correct, and or the mount is not sitting on the strut correct....

FYI, TRD struts do that... LOL

by **krawzyazn** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 7:51 pm

hmmm clunkin on turns might be crushed bearings

okay. so when i got home. i took my bro for a ride to see if he could figure out what the sound was.

he said that it sounded like something was loose. :?

ermm... so he torqued the bolts on the struts/strut mounts for me. he said that they seemed to be fine. so we'll see how the sound tomorrow morning.
