Snap, Thud

[trainguy1989]

I was took a right hand turn a little to fast. I heard a "thud" and a small "snap" during the turn. I then stopped the car and looked at all the suspension. Everything seemed tight and solid. All the boots were intact and not leaking. Sway bar is still in one piece. What do you think I heard? What should I check for?

Thanks for any help,
David

inner tie rod?

Could be anything, really. Check for play in your suspension. Could be subframe bushings, too.

Check for cracked springs.

-maybe the front coil springs moving....especially if its had that spring seat recall done for them...those will make it pop.

i did something like that once.. Yeah it was my Strut mount that i had snapped.

The sub-frame bushings look to be intact and solid. The springs are not broken and the shocks are in good shape as well(passed bounce test and road test). Most of the suspension is still OEM, but it is still solid and has no torn boots or rubber bushings. I do wonder if maybe the front coil springs moved, because later I heard another pop during a right hand turn as if whatever popped out of place, popped back in place. Every right hand turn since then has not made any noise what so ever.

Thanks David

Check the swaybar end links to see if one gave out. Also a rather minor possibilty that a strut bearing is going out, but that isn't worth messing with until strut-replacement time. They can start losing ball bearings when they crap out.

CV axle maybe?

 

[trainguy1989]

End links are not broken and are in good working order. What would a bad CV joint do?

Thanks
