ok...ive had problems since i got this gsx, this previous owner didnt take great care of this car i think .
ok so i was getting a clinking noise from the front right wheel area. took the wheels off and noticed on the half circle thing (idk what its called im srry ) thats right by the top of the wheel and goes around the spring, on the right side of it where there is a bolt going through it. The bolt was all the way on the right side and not pushed through all the way. so i pushed it through and put a nut on the other side to keep it there thinking it was causing the noise in the front. well after doing that i realized that i could shake my rotor inward and outward as well and when i put the wheel back on i could shake the wheel in and out also...none of the boots are broken on either side of the car. tie rod? but a tie rod wouldnt cause my rotor to shake inwards and outwards would it?
the nooise continues...
OTHER PROBLEM, im getting a loud thudding sound comming from my rear wheels around 30-45 mph, whether in neutral or not. i have basically brand new 245/40/18's in the back and 225/40/18's in the front. Im also lowered around 1.75 all the way around. I looked at the lugs on the back wheels and noticed i had a lot of loose lug nuts(i had tightened them a few days before when i swapped wheels). I re-tighted them but in the process one of the lugs seems to have went in at an angle? or even broken? could the thudding be from that? or my 245's hitting my Upper control arms? they are pretty damn close as it is but never really did it this bad before...ill upload some pics when i get home this afternoon
