04 SVTF, 193,000, all original.
I've only had the car a month and this noise was not present after purchase, however it recently began to be noticeable, and is still present after the following maintenance was done, so I doubt it is specifically any of the components I replaced:
Eibach pro lowering springs
Front struts
Rear shocks
New brakes
New sway bar end links
Rotors turned
New motor mount
New trans mount
New torque strut mount
4 wheel alignment
Slave cylinder clutch
Transmission flush
I did not replace the ball joints - yet, however I had them checked at the alignment shop and I did my own test by raising the wheel about an inch off the ground and doing a 12/6 and 9/3 wheel wiggle test as well as "bumping" the suspension with a pry bar under the wheels.
I cannot replicate the sound, however it is mostly present at speeds under 10mph on uneven surfaces (gravel road).
My seat bat bushings look to be in good shape.
Everything is lubed & tight, this is driving me nuts.
Is it the all joints or am I missing something?
It sounds like a loose strut or a worn out shock where the upper metal sleeve is bumping against the lower portion of the shock.
