Not another “what’s this sound?” thread!

the definitive test for endlinks is to remove both of them and zip-tie the bar out of the way.

You think that sound is coming from the direction / area you speak of but sound direction can be tricky. consider the possibility you've got it wrong.

Perhaps a bad strut? I had a like sound with my right rear strut a year into Koni yellows requiring replacement.

Well it’s not the end links or sway bar like I originally thought. With the girlfriend basically jumping up and down on the car while I moved around trying to find the source, I was able to narrow it down to the passenger side front strut. Now what exactly is going on with the strut..I’m not sure.

Couldn’t be more annoyed though. Brand new air ride system and have already had to replace the driver side bag cause of a constant leak and now getting a knocking sound from the passenger side strut/bag.

Dang that sucks….. think it could be as easy as the air line or other line just bouncing against the wheel well wall?

Still checking around. It sounded like it was closer to the top of the strut though. Everything was tightened down. However, I had a spare “rebuild kit” which is basically just new washers and shit for the top of the bag, so for the hell of if I took the top of the strut apart and replaced all of those and put it all back together. Will take it for a test drive shortly and see if that changed anything.

Don’t want to jinx it, but I think that may have fixed it. I’m not sure what exactly was wrong though. When I took apart the top of the strut, everything seemed to be installed correctly. All I did was replace the bushings and washers and shit and put it back together. The ones on the strut weren’t damaged or anything though..

Guess I’ll keep an eye on it in case it comes back.
