Help! Front Suspension Noise

[dazz32]

Hi i have a problem on my is200 sport,i get a groning noise and a kinda crunching noise when i go over a speed hump or pitching and loading the front suspension on either side..been to lexus hatfield and they had an engineer take it for a test drive and said he also could hear the noise but could not find where it was coming from.

Doesnt affect the handling when driving,Been to tony @ wim for geometry and there are no play or anything wrong with bushes etc.....been bugging me for a while now!!!

Does anyone know what it mat be???

Any help would be appreciated! :)

Hi ibby

i dont think its a loose exhaust,could well be a dryd up joint thou,have to get some silicone spray and attack the joints etc with it.

just its been really bugging me and was wondering if anyone else had the same prob.

cheers for ya help.

On my old civic, it made a groaning noise some times (was parked up for a longtime)

Turned out to be one of the joints was dry, so a sprayed it and greased it, all well after that
