massive creek from the front of the car

Post by nvr2low »

I think my sway bar on the front is braking or sumting. Because every time I go over a bump turn up into my drive way, I accelerator a little hard or brake a little. It is a missive creek noise from the front of the car

already replaced the droplinks and it still does it. I also don't have coilovers.
When I go over a bump or turn up a drive way it makes a nice loud creeking noise. Also when I accelerate it creeks real bad.

I was thinking the arb is that the same thing as a sway bar ben. I was going to buy a new 1 if they are the same.
Ben the bar you have on the back end of your car what is that for. Ben when you change the shocks do they come with new strut tops man or do I have to buy them seperate.

Yeah, ARB stands for anti roll bar (swaybar) bushes.

Which bar?

No, strut tops are a separate item.

just bloody bought 130 dollars worth of bushes for the front of the car and waiting on the guys from the shop about the shocks to see the final price.

will be doin this hopefully next weekend and also replacing the springs with king spring lows.

i might have found hoist to do it on to so this should make it easier i hope.
