My 95 gt is making really loud banging noises... like somethings loose almost when I go over the slightest of bumps. The problem is especially bad at low speeds. Had the problem since I bought the car thinking it was a bad strut but never got around to replacing it. Since I've had the car 3 years or so I can notice it progressively worsening over time. Had a mechanic briefly look at it on the ground he said it didn't feel like shocks/struts were bad.
Could it be a wheel bearing. Im about to go out and spin the wheels and listen for any noise but this sounds and feels like I almost have no rear shocks at all. Any suggestions?? let me know if i need to be more detailed... |

For wheel bearing, when you lift the car on a jack and you can literally move the tire like this // while its mounted.. then you have a bad bearing.
For sway bar bushings, you really going to have to get under there and look im guessing.. And for end-links.. if yours are anything like mine (which are shot to HELL) then they either: 1. still allow for the sway bar to have too much travel (which is why mine clanks like hell) 2. End links are wont tighten and just turn (meaning the boot is broken and when you try to tighten the nut your bolt moves too.) These are just some of the problems that i have had in the past.. so maybe some of it will help? |
