The loads on suspension are very difficult to replicate when lying under the car in the driveway.A suspension place will look over it for free usually, especially if you pay for an alignment or balance. Just go somewhere where you won't get any, errrm, bull.A check over yourself will eliminate anything obvious. I had noise the other day and the exhaust place hadn't re-tightened my sway bar mounts after refitting the dump. Fixed in two minutes.A have a couple of creaks and knocks in my BA and have been told everything is fine but it is a Falcon. So prepare to get a louder exhaust or stereo if everything else is checked and ok! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
