Edit: Ok so today it is very wet and rainy here in Vancouver Canada and i took the car down to the local auto parts to buy oil etc (needs a change) I drove the whole way with radio off and listening to the noise except the noise happened for the first couple blocks but then got quieter and quieter.
I was also trying dragging the brakes over bumps that would make the noise and no sound. by the time i got home i pulled in and out of my driveway a few times trying to make the noise but it wouldn't.
So im wondering if water is getting into something to stop it from making such a bad noise acting as a sort of lubricant?
@Racerboy - the feeling of the wobble does feel like a loose inner tie rod but ive inspected the tie rod ends and there is no play so perhaps it is the lower ball joint on the wishbone as you describe?
If it was the lower ball joint would I be able to replicate the sound by getting me and another to push up and down on the fender? because Ive tried that also and nothing.
Leads me to believe the noise may be of longitudinal movement rather than lateral movement.
@stevedox - Not sure if ill try the 997 trailing arms but i thank you for the input and part numbers!
Any thoughts on why the noise wouldn't happen in the rain?
