Hi everyone,

I had my shocks and struts replaced about half a year back. Nowaday when I back up down from the garage or come to a quick stop I hear an annoying loud noise from the suspension. I recall Luxosc400 said this is a damaged front stabilizer links (the toothpick-like link that connect the stabilizer bar to the suspension. See

)

If so are my front stabilizer links gone or what. Has anyone experienced this and what to do to fix it? Thanks,

James

I think I may have this same sound... we should record the sound and upload it 2 the web... send me an email jtj@tocci.net I can host anything needed... got my own dedicated server sitting on a T-1 line.


About that sound. It sounds like a loud POP. Almost like the sound that's made when someone cracks their neck, or cracks a knuckle REALLY good. Or even the sound that's made when someone dislocates a finger, or when they put it back in :eek:

...sounds like it might be from your control arm bushings...

...can you isolate exactly where the sound is coming from?

Seriously, I think I have same sound when I reverse.

that's exactly when it's most prominent for me.. reverse, and usually when I have the wheel cut to one side or the other.

I believe that sound is just the brake pads shuffling from one side of the caliper to the other.My suspension is real tight,and I've had the same thing since I got the car.
Maybe the guys with Supra TT brakes have it different after the swap and could shed some light on this one.

I never had this noise before. Only heard it after the suspension was messed with. Oh well... the price we pay for performance upgrades
