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

I get a hissing sound from the front shocks when I go over speed bumps, is it anything like that? I'm at 232,000 miles with the stock suspension, and I've almost always noticed that noise, even after replacing the shocks. I don't get any sounds like that from the super strut suspension in car #2 though.
