clicking noise while going over speed bumps
I just noticed it tonight. I was on my way home from school and there are about 5 speed bumps which I must pass before I exit the parking lot. They are of the bigger variety. Eveytime I went over each one I heard a clicking noise. It was hard to tell where it was coming from. I just tinted my windows so I could not roll them down to listen for it. I stopped at a gas station and tried to duplicate the sound by pushing down on the car, with no luck. It happened right when I was going down off of the speed bump. Any suggestion on what it could be. My car has 109k with the original spring and struts.

Front suspension clicking noises only can be performed by the Strut Bearings, but if you will replace them (Very cheap $8.00 a piece) you must replace your strut mounts also. Use as much OEM Suspension components as your pocket can afford, and don't use KYB Strut mounts, you'll waste your money for sure !
