Suspension Problems..

[F1Turbo]

k guys i have serious problem .. every time i turn left or something i hear this big TOK sound if i drive over a bump .. when i turn right its fine.. Its just "one" TOK sound so its not my CV joints and when i looked around my steering components , everything looks fine.. so do you guys know whats up?

You might want to post more info about your ride to get a better esponse, year model, miles , after market suspension parts, wheels, offset, etc.I am sure you will get more help if you include those things.

had a similar problem, turned out to be the strut bearings up front which rotate with the wheels when you turn the steering.

to check them: unbolt the strut and check the play/rotation of the top hat. if it feels rough or has lots of play you may need to replace it (around $50 each). They will not hurt your car if you leave them in, just an annoying sound when the bearing travels over a rough spot.

Sweet ****. so basically dont need to throw any money away at all if its just the strut bearings right?.. but if not my 240 sx is 91 about 200 k . just new OEM shocks and my wheels are practically new

It may also be your front tension rods, those bars that connect from the lower control arm to the frame and look like long lolli pops. The oem bushings suck and go out quite often. Some people opt for the hard rod with spherical bearings like Tein or others make but I just went the cheap route and installed the complete polyurethane bushing kit on my car to include the subframe ones in the rear too!

But just to make sure.. Is it neccessary to replace the tension rods IF i drive normally though? Im in need to get a LSD instead
