Hi guys.
Not a real problem (thus far), but more of a heavy concern. About a week ago, while braking hard, I hit some maybe inch deep by 4 inch across divots in the pavement. When I did, while turning slightly to the left, I heard a loud CRACK - like a thick piece of stiff plastic breaking from the left front wheel area. Car felt fine and I was a couple blocks from home so I puttered home and checked around that wheel, but found nothing.
Last night, while gunning it onto the highway on modestly broken pavement (2nd gear - car WAS scrambling for traction), same sound...this time first from the left, them about a half second later the right. It was so loud that I thought I had maybe un-beaded my tires and "popped" them. Nope, and again I could find no apparent issues and the car drives perfectly.
Anybody ever had this issue before? What do you think?
