drummer boy

[joncw55]

kindof a weird problem and i was hoping someone could help me. when i get into my car in the morning and start it for the first time, the second i turn the wheel i hear what sounds like someone hitting a drum from the underside of the car. what strikes me as odd is its always the first time i get into the car and turn it on, no matter how long it sits (a little louder when its been sitting for a while) was wondering if anyone new if this was normal or if i should have it looked at. i got the 08 si so i fugured all the bugs would have had been worked out by now. if anyone could help me out i would really appreciate it, thanks!

not sure what u mean by a drum. but u sure it not the abs cheaking its self?. another thing when i got my 07 si a few months ago i had all sorts of noses coming form the car form the suspention to under the hood. now i have 4000 miles on it all the noses are gone, it could be the car is just breaking in

Oh, it's that boiiing sound the ABS makes when I go over a bump while pressing the brakes. I guess it sounds like a drum more than anything else, I don't know if this is the problem, or why it would do it standing still.

its weird almost like a duumm sound coming from under the hood near the joints. the fact that it only does it once when i first get in the car puzzles me. then i never hear it again. i've heard mention of the system check before but how can they be related to me turning the wheel? i hope thats the case

its probably from your tires rubbing on the ground. I get that when i turn my steering wheel while the car is not in motion. i only get that when the tires are cold.

I know exactly what you mean and was wondering the same exact thing. It will never do it again which is weird. If the car sits for at least 5 minutes and turned back on it will make that same sound. I think it might be the metal contracting after it has expanded from being a bit warm? I'm honestly stumped.

yah its def starting to aggravate me though. you plan on going to get it checked out or do you think its something we have to live with? i just dont want it to end up being a huge problem in the future ie when the warranty goes up. anyone else with this problem? any suggestions?

I'm just going to leave it and wait for other replies.
