sutty2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Seems a few of us on here have this problem. Ive replaced Springs, shockers, top mounts, lower arms, anti roll bar links to no ovail. Just whip one of the wheels off and see if one of the calipers is loose. If not there could be anything on the front of the car loose. Its a case of trying everything. Hope this sheds some light.

sutty2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 You would notice a lack in power if the cat is breaking up as it would block the pipes restricting airflow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutty2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Fair enough i'm no expert just an idea thats all You could be right just not broken enough to block it, I bet there are a million things that could be making the noise. Process of ilimination really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
