Anybody that is lowered, quick question

Post by 1992blazeredgs »

I was wondering if anybody that is lowered gets any kind of noise from their swaybar endlinks hitting?? At low speeds i sometimes get a metal on metal noise only in the front. I have gone over everything in my suspension and it all looks good and is on nice and tight. My endlinks are only a year and a half old, but it is the only thing i can think of that is making this noise. It is driving me crazy. anybody with input would be appreciated. Thanks

I would doubt your end-links would be the problem. I did have a similar noise and it turned out to be little pieces of gravel stuck between the lower control arm bushing housing and the body . you never know.

I did not start having this noise until i lowered my car. I even took my car to a shop and had them look at it and everything, ball joints, tie rod ends, struts, spring, strut mounts all looked good. So i am running out of ideas where this noise is coming from.

I recently started to have a similar noise and have yet to find what is making it. I was thinking tie rod ends or sway bar links too. I haven't had much time lately to look at it, but hope to get some time with the car this weekend. I'll post up if I find the issue.
