Default Just when I thought I was good to go.....

Just venting a little....

Car has been running great.... Finally through with my No Start issue.... having a decent year despite the Covid cancelled shows and cruise nights....

Been hitting as many shows and cruises as I can.... was having a great weekend.....

But on the way home from show today...... a Clunk/Clunk has appeared in the L/F when suspension compresses ...... like if going around a right hand sweeper and there is a dip in road.....

Ugh...... Guess its time for someone with experienced hands/eyes to look at front end..... Everything is pretty fresh under there..... UMI/Bilstein/Hotchkis/Moog , but something is not right.....

Oh well..... will make some calls tomorrow.....

First thought would be sway bar links.

Should be an easy fix. As mentioned, likely sway bar - could also be upper control arm bushing gave up the ghost - or just a loose shock.

My 1st thought was a sway bar link..... did a quick look last night.... they look attached....

UMI Tubular Control arms with the Delran bushing...... god I hope they arent bad already........ i somehow doubt they are

Loose shock..... never thought about that..... will get a closer look later this week

I have an appoint Friday with a guy I trust to look at it...... but I want to do a preliminary inspection...... will try and get a look later this week...... ugh, working 3rd shift sucks.....lol
