I have clunking suspension noises coming from the front of my car. I'm looking for a suspension shop specialist in central NJ to diagnose the problem that won't break the bank. Does anyone have any suggestions.

A few things you can check yourself ...

1. Loose or broken end links
2. Loose or broken sway bar brackets
3. Bad/broken upper shock mounts

I mean, just throw it up on a set of jack stands and see if anything looks horribly wrong, bent, missing or loose

Good luck.

 

Thanks for the advice. I did a self diagnosis and replaced the endlinks with SPLs. I noticed that the passenger side has some grease leaking out of a bushing on the control arm. And I believe the driver side compression arm is going bad as well.

I pretty much just want a good shop to verify my findings before I start spending money on stuff.

 

Check out the guys at z1auto - they are in Long Island but Adam is very knowledgeable with suspensions.

 

Did you have springs installed recently?

Maybe they didn't tighten the top nut of the shock with a air gun.
You can never get that tight with hand tools it will just keep spinning

 

I have coilovers but I had em for over a year.

Z1 I'm sure is good but they're very far.

 

Well you stated that you have already purchased SPL endlinks?

It is hard to diagnose what your problem is without knowing what you have done to your car.

If you have aftermarket sways, the load from them could cause the stock endlinks to creak, but again it could be a lot of things as well.

you should post your mods, and any recent installations or changes you have made.

 

Yup. All I have up front is SPL endlinks and Teincoilovers.
