Look for the top shock nut – when it’s missing, the shock sits there looking normal with your face in the wheel well, but raises havoc when you drive. Much cheaper solution. You can hope.

I pulled the tire off banged on the rotor and shook the axle a bit and the sound went away for a day then it came back. I have a small rip in the boot I’m about to tackle there is still plenty of grease in there. I have all new bushings I’m not dragging anything nothing is loose. I know my description is terrible but anyone have any ideas of what it is? Seems to be worse when I’m in gear but not a 100 percent sure about that. Peace tom |
