crunching noise
When i go over bumps i hear a crunching noise and i can actually feel on the floor, like a knocking on my feet. Any suggestions?

Re: crunching noise
I kind of figured thats what it might be. Its just when i mentioned it to a local mechanic, he said that bad cv joints shouldnt make crunching noises on bumps, but just make knocking sounds while turning.
Thanks
Thanks
Re: crunching noise
Had her checked out, got 2 cv joints and 2 outer tie rod ends are toast. So i had the tie rod ends done and i'm still getting the clunking noise. And i just replaced the ball joints as well. Mechanic said there is a worn swaybar bushing as well, would that be the likely cause of the clunking i can hear and feel on my feet when i go over bumps? or could the cv joints cause that as well?

Re: crunching noise
i dont have a crunching noise when going over speed bumps or turning, but when i drive for around half and hour or so i do have this crunching noise when i am braking sometimes that i kind of "just" hear and feel... if i'm going a high speed the crunches are faster "crunchcrunchcrunch" but as the car slows down the crunching slows down too "crunch crunch crunch"...
what could be the problem that i have? my braking isn't affected however when it is crunching i can ever so slightly feel the car rock back and forth while i am braking as it crunches... if i really wanted to i can apply more or less brake and it will almost stop the crunching... if i turn my music on i can't hear it, even when the music isn't loud

Re: crunching noise
check your brake discs for scrapping or gouging and lean on each corner of your car (to see if you can hear the noise)

Check your brake discs, maybe they're warped.
