SharpCrease Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hey, I'm brand spanking new to this forum and I would just like to say that you guys and gals have answered plenty of my questions in other topics found on this forum. Anyway,,,,, Every time I start my 1993 sc400 in the morning and turn out of my driveway, I get this popping sound that seems like its coming from the axle or something. When I'm driving everything is cool. Just when I'm turning or backing up in the morning while turning. I could probably live with it but just dont want it to get worse.

It seems to happen when there's significant weight transfer to the front of the car - under braking or when the wheels are cranked over and I give it a little gas. Someone here mentioned worn strut mounts, I was thinking the control arm bushings which have been identified as a frequent wear item, but no one's mentioned symptoms.

I asked my mechanic yesterday and he said it might be the control arm bushings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 classic symptoms of lower control arm bushing failure. you have 3 options:replacment arm about 350-500 bucks, daizen bushings, valmos bushings i would recomend if you dont want to pay the price of the arm because daizen bushings are polyurethane and they need greasing every year or every good rain.

jzz30 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 not sure on the price but they should be in the neighborhood of $125-150? try do a google or yahoo search on valmos bushings, or even on the forum and there will be a link somewhere.
