amf1932 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Your description is a little too vague. What type of noise is it.......a rattle, squeaking, or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amf1932 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 squeaking ← OK.....now, does this sound happen when you hit a bump, or while making a turn, and at what particular speed? As I said before.........it's almost impossible to diagnose a problem unless you describe it more fully. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camlex Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 this sound happen when I hit a bump at 5-10 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should bring the car to a qualified mechanic, not a bodyshop to check this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blake918 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Are you near DFW? Even if you aren't, drive in and let JP Importz look at your car. He'll get it all taken care of. I drive 4 hours each way(from LA) to JPI because their service is that good and is very reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camlex Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 Mechanic fix the front fender noise. But still that squeaking noise is comming when i go over speed bump. only thing i didn't change is the shock which is close to front engine mount. I did open top bolts and then try to pull and push by hand. yes it was moving by hand. so my question is: is that normal? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
