Well, I have 43000KM (27000 miles) and the front end has some knocks in it (comming through the steering) and some squeeking in there too. Fortunately I have not touched the suspention, not even a FSTB

Am I driving my car too hard or is the suspention weak? Am I the only one?

 

did you run over a curb or anything? you might have to re align your car... in my 4th gen there was massive shuddering when i got hit in the front wheel, my alighnment was really off.

 

Ya I'm having that problem a bit too. Never ran over anything. Just some vibration and slight shake at higher speeds. PSI was ok so it must be a wheel balance or something for me. I am going to have the dealership check it out anyways.

 

It's not a ballance issue, things are real fine. I didn't hit anything that I know of and I am the only one who drives it.

It's not a high speed issue, it's a low speed over bumps issue. I would say that it's a tie-rod or something going out.

 

I had a problem like that and it happened to be the front strut.

 

Just one or both? Did they do both as a precaution? (am I being to ****ing optimistic? Is it at about the same milage? You drive your car hard?

What is the build date of your car? Mine is Dec 16 1999.

 

Could also be in the brakes. I had a loose bolt that would make a knocking sound when braking.

 

It was not the brakes. I had the S.M drive my car and sure enough it was the passenger right strut. I heard a weird knocking whenever I would drive, I also heard on smooth road. I haven't looked to see when my car was built, I will later on. I do drive my car pretty hard, but not to the extreme. As a matter of fact, I'm experiencing the same problem again. Maybe the struts suck on these, just like the rotors. :[
