Ball joints or struts?
Have a knock in the front passenger wheel when going over bumps. Is that the struts or ball joints? I would apreciate some help
|
Well I don't think it's struts cuz you don't have struts
|
You have shocks at all 4 corners. There isn't really one thing that makes noise in a suspension so guessing with no recording is almost impossible. but if its over bumps I would check
the shocks/bushings Sway bar links coil insulators control arm bushings ball joints track bar bushing/joint If its making noise it should be loose or showing signs of rubbing/impact. |

I get a similar knocking im pretty sure its my ball joints and likely your issue too unless your shocks are toast. Easiest way is to jack the front up and check for play in the wheel moving it up and down. If it doesnt move then its likely shocks or bushings. Good luck!

Shocks are pretty old. I'm ordering a rc 3 inch add a leaf lift kit soon so the shocks will get done. But it sounds bad off road and over speed bumps. I'll jack it up and check for play.
|
just a side note.... get full packs if there is any way you can swing it :)
|
And I meant shocks not struts. Whatever haha
|
Full packs?
|
yeah, full leaf packs. new leaf springs rather then an AAL.
|
I did, I love my RC kit, can't beat it for the price !
|
The new springs make that much of a difference?
