Okay, so my car makes weird noises sometimes. I'm having a hard time isolating it. So here's my short story:
When I first got the car (<600 miles), it would make this dit-dit-dit-dit-dit tapping at low speed. It came from the back seat. I took it in, and the guy said that it was the bushing on the rear shock, that it wasn't being compressed by the shock and that it was rattling around. He ground down the shock threading and said it should be fine.
:shady:
So then I got in an accident. They had to replace my driver's side front suspension.
But now, I have new noises. For example, when I park my car (on my inclined driveway) and pull my e-Brake, put it in park, and turn the car off, I hear dump . . . dump . . . dump from the trunk area.
Also, when I turn at low speed, I hear a kind of grumbling tapping. Seems to be coming from the passenger side.
Is there a problem with all my original bushings, you think? Was the mechanic BS'ing me? Shouldn't he have replaced the bushings?
