Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone had an experience or input on the following issues:

Background: 2005 Acura TL, lowered on the Tein SS coilovers in '06, 120k miles.. just recently had her TB and water pump replaced. Had a flat on the passenger side, had the tire replaced. Was out of town, so she had to sit with the flat tire for about 3 days. Other than that, nothing out of the ordinary.

When going over bumps (regardless of size) there is a loud thump that sounds like it comes from the drivers front wheel area.

When turning far left there is a clicking sound from the same area.

The car tends to 'rattle' when going over bumps, the steering wheels shakes.

Not sure what could be the issues, will be taking her in when I have a chance. Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated.

 

My question for you would be; how did you get the flat? Hit a pothole that may have damaged a suspension component?

 

The flat was due to a nail, no potholes or anything out of the normal that could have led to any damage.

The sounds only started after the flat tire. She's also at 120k but she has had all major services done, been kept up, and last oil change the garage we took her to didn't see any other problems with her.
