Since the weather finally broke here in michigan i noticed today while going over larger bumps and some smaller ones that i can hear a clicking noise comming from the front suspension. Its like sometihngs hitting and making a loud high pitch click, and the car is also riding very rough lately????any thoughts

Check your swaybar endlinks.

I thought those were in the rear only? But im not for sure

well, i took my car to ADVANCE AUTO and they told me that its not the sway bar links. I dont beleive them b/c it makes sense that their going bad. I took my car on a washboard dirt road, rolled down my window, and i listened to the clirping like sound from the front wheel. Other than that all i know is that its comming from the front driver side

Our swaybar endlinks tend to corrode fast (well anywhere they use salt on the roads) And they tend to break. It's real easy to check Just take a gander under your car and just do a visual.

How do i tell? I looked at each side and the driver side looks what appears like a crack along the bottom rubber piece. The passenger side doesnt. Could that be causing all the noise??? If so how much$$$$

If the bushing is loose it could allow movement and create noise. Obviously it's not the problem I was thinking of. The problem I was looking for was the actual thin metal rod broken in two.

Struts or Strut mounts maybe.

i popped the hood and looked at the strut mounts. I pushed down on the car and their was next to nothing for play along the top of the mount. It was kind of stiff between the rippled hard plastic and the metal ring on the top of the mount???????????????

Today i was driving my car thought a parking garage at school and all i can hear is my front end suspension going crazy. its squeaking, chirping, and ratteling all around. Would strut mounts do that? I think i may just take it to the dealership and have them look at it.....knowone else has any thoughts

The bad thing about trying to get your car to do something by just pushing on it, is that you can't give it the sudden high impact jarring that it gets when you are driving. If you have parts rubbing against each other, you might get it to do something. That knocking is a pain. My wife's 92 Grand Am has been doing it forever. She took it down and had the struts and top bushings replaced, which stopped it for a bit, then it came back pretty quick. It shows most when you are hitting sharp bumps in the road. I keep thinking it's the two bushings in the swing arm that are worn. Perhaps when the car is raised up, they rotate a bit and the noise goes away until they turn back again after some driving. might sound stupid, but I can't find anything else and I'm tired of paying people to replace everything else.
