Re: hey everybody......help

Could be a few things, ball joints, motor mount, tranny mount, tie rods. The best thing to do is get it on a lift, and if you don't see anything that looks bad. Then get a grease gun and grease all your suspension. I had noises coming from so many place's and a mechanic told me i needed a whole new front suspension. Well second opinion said it all looked good. greased everything front to back. within a few days>> NO NOISE AT ALL !!
