well if youre on a budget i guess you could replace the shocks, go drop springs if you want, replace top shock mounts......and grease the hell out of everything else biggrin.gif

it depends though on what kind of noise and where the noise is coming from.

if you hear like a light whomping noise (hard to explain) then you need new wheel bearings

hope this helps.....

Car has all kinda of noises right now , my rear rotors are warped and are making a horrible metal grind noise , the suspension over all is not smooth , sounds horrible when i pass over something.

My main concern is this sort of thumb that i feel coming from either the left wheel or the tranny .. i am yet to figure out what it is. I been saving up for a while now , but i still have to watch my spending since University is coming up ( i am in community college) , i will have to move up to northern California because i will be going to UC Berkeley ( kinda brag-ish )
