I had to get my front rotors and pads replaced and had an oil change done over the weekend, and it turns out that the inner tread wall on my rear tires were pretty bare, so I took the 17" Enkei GF1's I had laying around and got tires put on them and stuck them on the car. After that whole ordeal, though, I'm noticing a weird clanking sound coming from the front driver's side whenever I go over a rough patch of road. The lugnuts are torqued on, the brake hardware kit seems ok, it doesn't look like the caliper is rattling, the brakes are working, it's really weird. I have no idea where the clank is coming from. Any ideas?

 

Strut bearing most likely. How many miles on the car? Stock suspension?

 

About 104,000 miles on the car, not sure about the suspension.&nbsp\\; I dropped it off at my uncle's shop this morning, and I guess when I got the wheels changed, they put the lug nut key in the glove compartment, and it was apparently making noise when I hit rough patches.

So yeah.&nbsp\\; I'm going to pick it up in an hour or so and see if there are any more noises.

Thanks

 

Most likely it's the bearing #6 and the bushing #5. At 100K+ your stock suspension is worn out.

 

It could be a brake pad rattleing inside the caliper. Oneof mine did that until I glued them in. You could only hear it with the windows down untill maybe 35mph.

 

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I'll have them take a look at both of those issues over the weekend and see what they can figure out. The noise is still there, they just didn't drive it right to hear it.
