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 completely forgot about this thread. the issue has been solved. The sound turned out to be what i think is called hub centric ring. Its supposed to be pressed into the hub where the cv joint goes in. Mine got knocked out somehow and would rattle everytime i went over a small crack/bump. Apparently its not important so i removed and car has been quiet since... but now theres another noise rolleyes.gif
