hey everyone,

i got the celi on the road recently and ironed out my clutch issues thanks to the members on here. The car runs great and i couldn't be happier with it except for a strange sound every time i drive over a crack in the road. The best way i can describe it that its a light tssss sound everytime i go over a very light bump/dip/crack, almost like air escaping a tire (its not i checked). it seems like its coming from the drivers side since any friends driving shotty think im losing my mind. I checked EVERYTHING and nothing rattles. I even had my friends bounce on the door sill and checked if it was the shocks. I know im asking you guys to pin point a tricky problem with pretty vague info, but im hoping someone may have had the same issue and found a solution. My theory is that the spring mounts could use some anti-sieze or maybe the sway bar bushings are making noise..

any help is appreciated

SO you only hear it when your driving and its only noticeable on the driver side so any passengers don't hear it? Hmmm and you say its only over bumps or cracks right? So you haven't heard any other time? it could be something in your suspension rubbing against something else. Not hitting it but my just loose enough its sliding on another component. Check all your suspension parts maybe tie rods bushings and see if any bushings are a little worn in the center thats pretty much all i can think off if its not your struts or tires?
