hi guys
finally got to do my lower control arm bushings with alignment. dropped 250$ and was hoping that would be the end of my clunking and loose feeling of my c36. guess i was wrong.
the first day i took the car out it felt better than before but overly tight as some people mentioned it would. my rear felt a lot more loose than the front but hey i though at least not the front is perfect.(strange thing was that my mechanic told me that everything is ok with my rear suspension)
so after few days i started hearing noises. they sound like some sort of squeeking or something like that. to describe it better, if u ever heard someone rocking on a grandma's old wooden chair and wood makes a noise (except its metal in my case) thats what it is. noise makes me feel like the whole suspension is twisting or something. for example i roll in Drive and make a turn u hear it. i have passangers and front standstill i start driving u hear it. i brake u hear it.
damn it what can it be? did the guy overtighted something. i mean i brought the car back to him and he tried spraying some w40 on sway bar bushings. i think it helped maybe a little but the noise is still there. like i said just rolling in D and making turns makes that grandma chair noise.
now also my wheel bearing is bad. we though it was balljoints but after jiggeling wheel for a little bit he told me its a wheel bearing. somehow after putting new control arm bushings basically the car got stiffer and everything else took a bigger load hence whatever was worn got worse.
also my shocks are leaking :-(. stock shocks with 100k on it.
so what could that noise be?
