Underchasis Noise
Hi guys, I recently started hearing a thump or knock noise under my car again. Just 6000 miles ago, I replaced my
center drag link assembly includes 2 tie rods
2 Lower Ball joints
bushings
idler
steering shock
Upper ball joint still ok
I might be forgetting something but that's about it.
Anyway, this sound pretty much happens when I do a full turn of my wheel either left or right backing up. I hear this lound thumping sound as if my tire hit a small rock and flew off to hit my fenders. That's the closest sound I can describe it. Car is runnng 93500 miles. Any info would be appreciated. thanks.

Look at the wheel bearings if you have OS wheels it my be putting xtra strain on the inner/outer wheel bearings the smallest bit of play will sound like the wheel is ready to fall off. Also look at the rotors.

Thanks for the advice. I'll have it check and I'm schedule to go to the shop tomorrow and will give you guys a feedback of what it might.
