53335, Noise under car HELP!
Posted by DJTJ, Jun-17-03 11:54 AM
Hey guess,
I know this is going to sound stupid of me but I dont have a clue what is wrong. Ok at low RPM's when I am coming to a stop I hear a couple of THUMPS. I can also feel those thumps under my left foot (right beside the clutch pedal) I have no idea what it is. It sometimes does it when i turn hard left as well but only sometimes. Thanks for the help I know its not much info but like i said I have no idea whats going on, But I am preety sure it is not the CV joints b/c the boots are still in good condition. Thanks for the help.

do you have stock rotors? our stockers are notorious for warping, and will thump thump like that (mine did). do you notice the interval between "thumps" get longer as you break and slow down. if so, I'm pretty sure that's the culprit

you would also feel that on your left foot - if by that you meant through the break pedal

See man I thought it was thought or the calipers man but the calipers are in really good condition and the rotors are aftermarket. I checked it last night and i noticed that my tie rods were moving like they arn't supposed to. The bad part about that is it is the inner one. Do any of you peeps know a web site or something with directions, b/c my chiltons has seen just about every greasy part on my car so!! Thanks for the help.
