Thud
I've been hearing a thudding noise coming from (i think) the passenger wheel area? My thought is the bushings...am I correct on this? I looked at them and they definitely don't look good, but do they make a "thud" sound when they're bad? Tahnks

Ok.....just took a real good look at it....it seems the the bushing on the passenger side is basically gone from PS fluid dripping on it....All the other bushings look brand new. Tis a wonderful day....Can i get that bushing from our host?

Also check your upper strut bearing 86 /87 cars the upper bearing strut rubber deform in time.
I did mine on the 86 951, I replace the swaybar bushing on the pass. side due to clanking noise and the thud noise come from the upper strut bearing. i end up replacing the front strut, the shock was gone as well. -------------------- Bud |
