bushnut Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 so IT'S developed a new clunk.....if I make short/quick, left and right turns (just janking the steeing wheel left and right) It goes clunk. so far I've got new struts, new sway bar end links, new ball joints. this weekend will be changing sway bar bushings. If that doesn't work,how can I tell if its either TRE or Steering rack bushings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul.thoroughgood.3 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Could be the steering rack internals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushnut Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 well after looking at it in the daylight, It is the driver side Lower control arm bushing (the front one). anybody have a favourite brand? or are they all the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Did you double check the rack and pinion bushings? I have the AC front bushings. Sent from my Moto X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yendor Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Did you find the problem? Just picked up a 2002 and its making this noise. Want to nip it in the bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushnut Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 now that I've replaced the sway arm bushing everything seams to be quiet. $7ish in pats $14shipping and an hours work has fixed the problem. I will be replacing both LCA and bushings sometime before spring but only because they are almost 15yrs old not because they are worn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawairish Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Good to hear, bushnut. I may replace mine too while I'm doing all my suspension work soon. I noticed the other day that my sway bar had shifted over a good bit may have damaged them (though I don't have any noise). Might just go poly while I'm at it. I'm also going with poly LCA bushings that AC sells. They're manufactured by SuperPro, and the price is actually pretty competitive. No one else was selling them for less, or had them available. New arms cost about the same, but of course there's the work of getting the front bushings out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
