Help with front wheel noise?

90dpscoupe · 01-28-2001, 12:09 AM

Well, like i posted earlier i jumped my car over a dip, with that done i was worried something might be screwed up, everthing seems alright except for a (clunking noise) near my driver side front wheel, only when im hitting a bump or pothole, it sounds like a shock or something in the suspension, any ideas???
thnx for any info guys.

Im gonna check the lug nuts, but it's too dark now.

That sounds bad. you may have blown your front shock, or worse. Uh, check to see if anything is leaking from the shock, then check the mounts. If that looks ok, check out your cross member. I'm not really sure what to look for, but if it's as bad as it sounds, you'll see it. Check your mounting hardware for your brakes, etc. Let me know what you find, cause I hate seeing a good 'Stang in pain.

Hey, I'm a poet, and didn't know it!!

Appreciate the reply, i know my car hit hard, but doesnt pull or swerve, a shock i beleive it is, today i was changing oil, but saw power steering fluid leaking as always, not bad though,

i will look further and repost, and wich mounts you talking about? i know my motor mounts are fine, my engine is sitting in the compartment and not shaking.

Oh and if it's the shock, some lakewood's 90/10's would be good for a replacement shock eh'
