Suspension Issue with the Chuki ~ Have mercy -.- ~

[gripstr]

Thanks for looking, couldnt find a solution to this on the boards,

I have agx and sportlines, and recently it has become very sensitive to road bumps,

For about two weeks, i have been hearing this metal hitting another metal noise on the front wheels, one of my freinds told me that it could be something hitting the axle or that the chuki is too low.

Even worse, This morning as i was backing out of the parking lot, i heard this horrible grinding noise on both my front and back wheels as i was reversing.

Any ideas on this problem, before i get financially raped

Thanks

grinding noise while rolling can mean your brakes or bearings...

at least thats what I think

I just recently changed my brakes plus the rotors...

And the other thing is that front doesnt seem to be holding as it used to when making turns.

Should have got me some coilovers

go under there and make sure all bolts are tight. ive had a few friends not torque all the bolts down, they get in a rush and just forget to tighten after going hand tight. as for the brakes. lift car, rotate wheel, and see if you can track down the noise like that.

will do that, thanks alot guys...

Thats why the chuki is prolly dancing around

While you're at it, grab the wheel while it's in the air and see if you can move the wheel back and forth. If it moves back and forth, the bearings in the hub have gone bad. It may just be a loose bolt, but it's worth checking while you got her up in the air.

You got it

EDIT: UPDATE

the tire shop just gave me a call and said they found nothing wrong with the car

metal on metal noise going over bumps in the front might be the bushings at the top of the shocks they sell replacements at pdm-racing.com my car makes the same noise but no grinding i have yet to replace the bushings but i was told that was the problem, but yeah like the other guy said check your bearings

did you reset your pistons in the brakes when you changed them..i had that problem once..stupid me forgot it..turned around, it was fine..then i realized that i actually have bad flow to that caliper..it is a little slow on releasing..oh well, i'll just have to swap out for 300's....dang

Actually a shop did the brake job....

Only thing i ever done to this car was the struts bars and some minor tune ups

I am taking it there tomorrow again and will ask them about the piston issue thanks alot.

Only thing thats left to fix this issue is prolly bushing.... and maybe some wheel balancing, appreciate for the referal, i will check them out tomorrow as well....

Thanks alot guys, you all have been very helpful.
