  • @briansmobile1... on my mothers car while your barley turning left it will knock but not while turning sharp its only while like changing lanes or coming around a curve could that be what it is

  • @TheSilverado1989 Or sway bar end link

  • @briansmobile1 how would you be able to tell the difference from the two

  • @TheSilverado1989 Lift the front of the car and inspect the Sway Bar End Links for bushing failure or damage. If they're bad, replace them. If they're not failing then back to the drawing board- perform more tests and inspections elsewhere in the front end steering and suspension realm.

  • Great video! If you dont mind let me tell you my issue and maybe you can give me some feedback. I own a 2008 scion xb, 2.4L automatic with ABS and 98,000 miles. I just lowered it on ksport coilovers and now during acceleration it shakes on the pass side, no clicking while turning, no wobble of wheels when off the ground, when i put the stock struts back on theres no shakeing it was only with it lowered. But i do have a slight whine (like my old honda in reverse) but in between 15-30 mph in drive

  • @mrkevindshore I'm not sure. Driving it would tell a lot. I'd take it to some one local with a good reputation and have them listen to it. This problem isn't common enough for me to make a call on it like that.

  • When you turn right when its under load and that joint with those balls with no grease lol and its gotten dirt in there and its all worn out sounds like my ex broad when I was done with her.

  • My Daughters 99' cavalier makes a grinding sound rather than clicking. Brakes are new, less than 6 months ago. ABS light has been on since we bought the car a year ago. Could this be the CV axle or something else?

  • @briansmobile1 thanks

  • @pedrof830 If you mark the strut bolts before removal you likely will not need an alignment.
