sounds like either a bad bushing or possibly a ball joint. Couldnt tell you what bushing b/c i cant hear it.

 

mines doing the same thing....i hate it. Its a bad ball joint on the control arm or a bad bump stop. I need to replace it cause it ain't pimp

 

how much do you think it'll be to fix all that??

 

Ha! I agree! Downtown SF has terrible roads! So many sewer lids and uneven pavement done by construction! I live in SF and never saw your car!. ^__^

 

you should ask klepto to take a look at it.

 

i saw a lot of first gen CL's when i was downtown mostly i bet were owned by older people....and yeah it SUCKS!! i don't think ima drive through there again not in the CL, NOTHIN but pot holes and messed up streets i was pissed!!

 

if it IS your ball joint. its pretty cheap to fix. like $45 shipped.

you should also come to the bay meet next sat, we could take a look at it then

Mine did the same thing before i put Tein SS on there, what I did the day it did it was lifted the car and simply sprayed some WD-40 on the shock. Stoped it, but im not sure how much longer it would have lasted, 4 days later I got the TEIN's installed. Try it out and see, it might just be the shock is wearin down and just rubbin the housing of the shock.

 

Haha! that is true. That does suck that older ppl drive it. If u are ever in the richmond district in SF. Drop on by... I want to see how cool your car looks.

 

Sounds like a bushing or ball joint for sure

 

alright koo well thanks for the help guys.... guess ima just have to lookin into that
