When i am driving, every time i hit a bump there is the thumping noise that is comeing from the front left side of the car. It only happens when i hit a bump. I don't think it is a CV Joint. Cause i don't hear nothin when i take a turn. Do u think it is a strut or something. Or even my shocks. Does anybody have any clue whut this noise could be?

i wasn't plannin on do anything to my suspension yet till i do all my basic bolt ons. but since i need it i guess i will go with some new springs and shocks and lower my teg. Do u think this is the way to go?

well, the strut is ok, the pillow mount section that holds the strut in place blew out and the rod busted a hold on his hood
if the strut blew, the car would've sagged....causing it to drop..
as for the thumping noise...try look and see if the hood has anything marked, right about the shock tower...

Just have you suspension checked out if you don't know what to look for. If something's wrong, it's never to early to get some decent suspension. I would suggest the most convienient and reasonably priced system (I guess this is argueable) out there: Tein SS. Promise me that you won't buy coilovers and some new factory strurts, it makes me sad

Originally posted by teg4dr does the steering wheel shake? if it does it might be the upper ball joint. maybe. unless you got all the ball joints replaced already?
nahh it don't shake when i turn the wheel or nothing. It perfectly fine until i hit a bump, then u hear the noise. I am goin to take it to the shop and get it look at before i make any decisions. Thanks for the replys

i was thinking on getting the tokico HP struts with the Eibach Sportline springs. Do u think this is a good way to go? I can spend atleast 550 for the hole thing. thats how much i have right now to spend.

That's a decent setup, but I promise you that if you save the two hundred more for the Tein SS's you won't regret it. Either that or I would recommend Koni Yellows and some good springs.

So is the Tein SS just coilver's. I been searchin the net and the least exspensive i found them was 650 on ebay. So do u think i should wait and get the Tein SS's?

Nope TEIN SS;s are full built coilvers WITH adjustable dampers. Great to adjust the height and shock ability. I would suggest these to anybody, as I just ordered some for my Nissan SE-R.
OR
Koni Yellow/Eibach set up. I have that on my integra and my roomate also has them. I love that set up as well, but downside no adjustable height, just shocks.
