i have a prob i had my 99 jimmy in to the garage today to get a noise checked out and the fella said my front end is all good and he cant find out what the noise is he can here it when he takes it for adrive but dosnet know what it is....it happens when iam driveing down the road and it sounds like my front right wheelis goin to ratttle off any body shed some light on the situation

 

Jack the front up and spin the wheel it's possible you have a bad wheel bearing or hub

 

it only happens wheni hit bumps which is near all the t ime hear but you still think the same thing???

 

when its jacked up put a bar under the tire and pull up(move the tire in and out) ,see if there is movement in the ball joints as well

 

happend to my 2WD. The caliper pins broke, and would wriggle their way to the rim when I hit a bump. Made a terrible scraping sound. It almost made a rattle like the bumper bolts were loose. It would only do it after I hit a bump though. Check it out. Its only a 5 dollar 2 minute fix

Is there a vibration associated with it, or is it just a noise?
Check all your bushings (Including the engine mounts).
Also, unfortunate experience has taught me that although you think the noise is coming from the front right it could be coming from somewhere else like the drive shaft or torsion bars.

 

Had a knock in the front of another car I had once every time I went over a bump, finally tracked it down to worn D bushes holding stabiliser bar to chassis.

 

I've got a knocking sound in the front of my truck. Sounds like a broken shock or something. Sounds like it is actually in the dash or just behind. Also considered the wiper arm knuckle could be worn. Maybe steering column, who knows! Nobody has been able to identify it. I think foxxie may have the answer - to my problem at least, but these may be areas to consider. Maybe, thinking about it now, each time the wheel bounces on the rough surface it relieves the tension on the front sway bar enough to have it loose & that causes the "knocking" sound. On a smooth surface I don't seem to have the noise.

Make sense, anyone? Or am I talking ..... LOL

 

You are right on the money with the problem I had, sounded like a lose shock every time I went over a bump.What was happening when the tension was taken off the stabiliser bar knocked against the chassis, a $10 fix.LOL

 

hey all what i thouhg would be an expen sive fix ended up being a 7 dollar fix for a new bracket on my hood which had worn out ....thanks for alll the input it took a half dozen guys at the garage to figure out a 7 dollar problem....haha dont always figure the worst like me PEACE i am out
